vCenter Operations v5 Interface - Where is "dark" scheme option?

Thanks VMware for a great product, but I do have a request.

In version 1.0 of vCenter Operations Manager, there was a nice, dark alternative option for the web user interface. (Configuration > Scheme: dark or light)    It was a really nice effect and everyone here preffered that, see my screenshot from our lab instance.    Now that I upgraded our existing vCenter Operations to v. 5.0, management and others who use it and love it want the old version back.     Especially when they walk into our NOC where it is displayed on a 50" plasma.      I looked around in the settings and searched the Admin guide, but find no reference.   Since it is unanimous here at our datacenter, surely some others have the same opinion?

I realize that other functions are more important and this is a great product, but please bring the dark scheme back.

Perhaps I will start poking around in .css files on the UI VM ; )

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but the dark theme was removed from the product...

The enterprise/ent+ still has it - I dont think it was removed.

Try this:

https://yourvcopsUIhostname/vsphere

login (admin/whatever you set)

Under User Preferences at the top, choose the new theme.

you're talking about the standalone installation, not the vApp - yeah...

but I assume that from the 1.0 Standard vApp persons upgrade to the 5.0 vApp, and there isn't dark scheme there anymore for the new UI (advanced) :smileyplain:

Nope, I'm talking the 5.0 vApp.

Dark scheme appears in vApp (enterprise) http://<IP>/vcops-custom/ and not for vApp (Advanced) http://<IP>/vcops-vsphere
