MaxPyDarkTheme – Dark Theme Python for 3Ds Max

Problem I’m solving

If you’re right here, you probably have a good idea what the issue is. 3Ds Max’s Scripting Editor for Python language theme is WHITE, and it’s causing you some eye fatigue.

Solution

This will change the color of the editor into dark theme as shown in the image above.

Installation

  1. The script requires ‘Run as administrator’ because python.properties is located inside maxroot.
  2. The script is tested on 3Ds Max 2023, It’s highly recommended to use 2022.3 or later.
  3. If somehow things go wrong, the script makes a backup, and it’s called python_backup.properties.
  4. This Dark theme has been designed with a slightly different color scheme than DarkScintilla, making it easily distinguishable when switching between languages.
