Hello Gang ! hope you all no less then fab.

Been changing UI colors recently, as you do, and wondering why these live under the sys admin folder struct.
Turns out I cant carry my favorite setup around with me as a freelancer, since i wont get 'admin privs' for most cases.
For some entries, seems I need to overwrite Sidefx's ones, which feels hacky.
The 2 files tweaked were:
folder:
- 3DSceneColors.dark (overwrite)
- UIDark_username.hcs (duplicate from UIDark)

Don't edit the configuration files from the install folders, make copies in your Houdini user prefs and edit those. If you're on Windows, those two files would go under C:\Users\YourUsername\Documents\houdini19.0\config\
Make your changes there and Houdini will pick them up.
