themecolor
Description
Output the interface color whenever it changes, query Max for current color settings, and change an interface color.
Discussion
Interface colors in Max are determined by the selection of a theme in the Preferences window. If you wish to change any of these colors, or if you want your user interface objects to match your current style selection, you can use this object to get the color - or to change the user interface color to match your object.
