In the Schematic View rollout menu the colors of the main thinkingParticles
UI can be easily adjusted or modified. Be aware that the changes are stored
in a separate Thinking.ini
file that is stored within the 3ds Max/PLUGCFG folder.

Colors - Click on the color swatch next to the feature of which
you want to change the color. You will be presented with a standard 3ds
Max Color Picker.
Disable Opacity - This spinner sets how opaque a disabled Node
is within the Wire Setup View. Higher values will produce more opaque
disabled nodes, while lower values will make disabled nodes more transparent.
Shadow Opacity - lets you control the shadow opacity of the DynamicSet
nodes.
Text Anti-aliasing - Activate this checkbox to have anti-aliasing
applied to the text within the Wire Setup View. Default is On.
Line Anti-aliasing - Activate this checkbox to have anti-aliasing
applied to the operator wiring lines within the Wire Setup View. Default
is On.
Shadow - check this option to create backdrop shadows for nodes
in the DynamicSet view.
Bended Wire - when checked, the connection lines are drawn in
a curvy manner.
Grid - check this option to enable the grid in the DynamicSet
View.
Expert Mode - Activate this option to enable a compressed
thinkingParticles UI layout. All nodes will only show one input/ output
line with no input or output data streams visible. In expert mode, connections
have to be drawn from the main Input/Output connectors, so do not use
this mode unless you are very comfortable with wiring the nodes together,
and want to conserve your on-screen real estate.
