How can i reset the colors of Aperture toolbars and event icons? They have all gone grey.
Aperture 3, Mac OS X (10.7.2)
Have you just upgraded to Aperture 3.3 or later? The grey design is a feature, ot a bug 😝
See the Release Notes: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2518 (Aperture 3.3)
Newly designed monochrome source list and toolbar icons.
The only way to change it, would be to manually replace the icons by colored ones in the Aperture application itself. You would have to patch the application bundle and to exchange some of the tiff files in the "Resources" folder.
And each time there is an update you would have to start over.
There are quite a few discussions on this, see:

This just shows how long it takes people to apply software updates. The update that made these changes was released by Apple almost a year ago!
The big question is why did they do away with the color Icons, not very user friendly in my opiniion 😠
The Aperture 3.3 update, that introcuced the monochrome icons,
Newly designed monochrome source list and toolbar icons.
came right after MacOS x Lion introduced the new gray design. Quite a few Aperture and iPhoto users actually like it, because the grey icons do not distract from the photos, when you are trying to judge the colors of the photos.
The only problem is, that gray icons are not so easily recognized and didstinguished as colored icons.
I am using Aperture 3 and recently installed an update from Apple. After restarting the computer and opening Aperture all of the "colour" is gone from the toolbar and events icons. How can I rest the colours?
