[Solved] How to change board's colors in Kicad 9.0

[MOHAMEDELHALOUA]

Recently I started working with Kicad 9.0, and some settings were changed, among those settings and when I didn’t know how to change the color of the board in 3D viewer, so for the poeple who are interested in knowning that, here is how to do it :

1. In PCB editor go to “File” → “Board setup” → under “Board Stackup” click on “Physical Stackup” from here you can select the colors you want for the Top solder mask and bottom solder mask.
2. Finally in 3D viewer, don’t forget to enable “Use board Stackup colors”.

Yes it’s also the same for v8 but not before as I discovered recently so old posts and tips for v7 and below won’t work.

@Dibaltic

What dark mode theme is this?

You will need to check “Colors” in “Plugin and content Manager” to find out which dark theme is used. There are several available.
