I tried but doesn’t work on UE 5.0.3.
Creating a theme and saving it is not persistent. The *.json is still there but is ignored on restart and not longer available.

  • Importing the *.json fails.
  • The color pickers don’t work. Pressing ok does nothing.
    [EDIT]- editing the default theme seems to work though.

@Joe_Radak Thank you! But how do I change the text color of the blueprint node titles? They’re a dull gray and I miss seeing the easier to read white titles that were in UE4. Thanks!

EDIT: I just found the value, praise God! :smiley: To change the title color of nodes in UE5, duplicate the current theme and change the “Foreground” setting to be white as shown below, and click “Save” when you’re done. Definitely easier to read now!
