How can I change the colors of Instrument slots in K7?

How can I change the colors of Instrument slots in K7? Some of them are white and some of them are dark. I want to make all of them dark. Thanks.

As far as I know, you can't really change the colors of anything here.

You can only change the colors of the keys.

Here is the link for changing the keyboard color:

Thanks for responding Milos!

Somebody must know why some slots are black and some white.

NI - anybody????

They are just different hierarchies of instrument. The dark grey longer bars are minimised multi instrument racks, within those you can have many single instruments grouped together as part of a multi instrument, or you can just create standalone single instruments as shown here in the bottom 2 while bars. The light grey one in between is an instrument bank.

Hi Kymela:

As you can see in my screenshot above, the D50 Fantasia patch is not a multi instrument and not a long displayed one. So why is that able to be my preferred dark color?

"NOT" able to be my preferred dark color.

That I don't know - not seen one like that before, what is it from? There is an option in instrument settings to set instrument wallpaper - maybe that does it?

It's gotta be somewhere. It's only important to me because in Cubase/Nuendo 13 (latest version) selecting instrument slots in Kontakt now only shows a narrow faint line on the left to show which is selected. Before it was the entire instrument slot. With the darker slots I can at least see it. With the white ones it's barely visible.

When NI said they're not 'completely up too date supporting Mac M1 Silicon native', maybe that's part of what they meant?

No I don't think it's related to that, the rack view is pretty much an aspect they have not really changed that much in K7
