   Hi I want to change maya's gui colors. How can i change gui colors on maya. Thanks for your helps.

So @RaGzMaN (RaGzMaN) replied

    settings Prefs Colours

So @T-R (T-R) replied

    Well the settings and prefs colour controls will not allow you to change the entire maya GUI colours(afaik). If you change your windows theme then maya's interface, along with all your other apps, will change as well.

To which @digones (digones) replied

    as far as I know, changing windows theme is the only way to change maya GUI colors…
    
    cheers!

    actual and pseudo-merts: 
    
    Maya's window is colored by the OS (Windows).  
    You have to change the Windows™ color theme to change the Maya interface window.
    
    My problem is that you then have to go in and change all the default colors that are designed to work on a light ground… urgh.
    
    For changing the MS Windows colors:  
    -Go to Windows Control Panel for DISPLAY (or right-click the desktop for it).  
    -Go to the ‘Appearance' tab.
    
    -Choose Windows classic Style for starters (you'll be glad you did)  
    -Click on ‘advanced' to change specific colors.  
    -In the new window, click on the feature you want to change.  
    -Change the color in the color pickers
