Try going to Personalization>Choose "Colors" in the left hand list and choose a matching window color.

You can right click on your desktop & choose Personalize to access these options.

Spite the shock of the dark mode when not expecting it, for Windows 10, the setup+Equipment menu does not appear while in dark mode. When I switch to classic I was able to access it and it works fine..

This is not working here. Does this work for you on Win10? All of my other apps have black bars on top except for Pro Tools. Every single plugin window has a white bar on top.

I like the Dark mode better than the classic.

enjoy classic then I guess, I think this looks great for a first real new dramatic redesign in a decade.
I'm 68 (going on 69 next February) and these old eyes appreciate dark mode. As I wrote earlier I think it's more a thing of it being new & different. I guess some people don't like change. To put it with no pun intended: I don't see the problems people are bitching about.

Get the icon set from the link above. Unzip it. Locate the icon inside the folder, click on it and hit Cmd+C to copy it in the clipboard.

Go to your Applications folder, locate ProTools app, select it and hit CMD+i to open the info window. Click on the icon, top left to select it, then hit CMD+V to paste the new icon, enter your admin password, done!
(same applies for the Eucon icon change).



Cheers!
Great! Can it be done in Windows 10?

Thanks so much for sharing these icons. They look great! I'd love to use them but for whatever reason on Catalina the above process isn't working. Just FYI for anyone else on Catalina.

Naw...I'm 31 and use dark mode on everything I possibly can. There's not enough contrast between elements here. It's a tool, I shouldn't have to second-guess if a plugin is active/inactive etc...
