I always feel it very clumsy that one needs to edit a text configuration file to change some basic UI color (like wireframe, selected point, etc) in Houdini. And it even requires relaunching Houdini. Is there a more ergonomic way?

Hi,

There is no GUI but you can use the Reload function to reload the colors:


Alterntively you can do it using the Python HOM:
hou.ui.reloadColorScheme() [www.sidefx.com]

I see, thank you!

As for the GUI, I feel I'm experiencing some kind of Mandela Effect now... I swear that during H18~H19 days I've found a panel (perhaps a third party plugin? Or an official example about how to make custom panel?) that lists all the colors in 3DSceneColors, but I can't find it now...

I found it! It's from https://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/examples/python_panels/viewportcoloreditor.html [www.sidefx.com]

But the 'load' button only works in the embedded browser.
