+======Tweaking Rhino's Interface======
+>//Tips and tweaks for enhancing Rhino's interface via registry editing or external scripting//.
+=====Changing the world axis icon colors=====
+**Note** This is the small 3-axis indicator in the lower left corner of your viewport, normally dark grey.
+====For Rhino 3.0====
+**//First close all instances of Rhino, then run Regedit.//**
+Edit the following registry key:
+//HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\McNeel\Rhinoceros\3.0\Scheme:Default\Options\AppearanceSettings//
+The last three keys are the icon colours. Enter an RGB value for each
+(for example 0,255,0 for green or 255,255,0 for yellow).
+====For Rhino 4.0 and 5====
+These settings are now mostly accessible directly from the Rhino interface.  The icon colors are adjustable individually for each display mode. There is no global setting.
+In **Options > Appearance > Advanced Settings**, for each display mode (Wireframe, Shaded, etc.), expand the tree and go to the Grid section.  Under //World Axes Settings//, you will find three choices:
+  *//Use application settings// will use the standard gray
+  *You can set them to be the same as the normal CPlane X,Y,Z axis colors
+  *Or specify another custom color scheme
+You will need to do this for **all** display modes you want to customize.
+If you want to change the default //application settings// dark gray, follow the same procedure for editing the registry as above for Rhino 3.0 -- Just edit the key //Software\McNeel\Rhinoceros\**4.0**\Scheme:Default\Options\AppearanceSettings//
+----

+=====Reallocating the second and third mouse buttons=====
+<color darkslategray> This change will swap the middle mouse button with the right mouse button, for those who are used to having the middle button manipulate the view.</color>
+**Important** In Rhino 5, this is no longer necessary. This functionality is included in Options > Mouse.
+//Close all instances of Rhino before making these changes.//
+Edit the following registry key:
+//HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\McNeel\Rhinoceros\3.0(or 4.0)\Scheme:Default\Options\MouseSettings//
+===In this registry key you will find the following eight entries:===
+middle_mouse_dblclk_remap       3\\
+middle_mouse_down_remap         3\\
+middle_mouse_move_remap         3\\
+middle_mouse_up_remap           3\\
+right_mouse_dblclk_remap        2\\
+right_mouse_down_remap          2\\
+right_mouse_move_remap          2\\
+right_mouse_up_remap            2\\
+Simply edit each one of these entries, replacing the 3's for 2's and the 2's for 3's.\\
+The result should be:
+middle_mouse_dblclk_remap       2\\
+middle_mouse_down_remap         2\\
+middle_mouse_move_remap         2\\
+middle_mouse_up_remap           2\\
+right_mouse_dblclk_remap        3\\
+right_mouse_down_remap          3\\
+right_mouse_move_remap          3\\
+right_mouse_up_remap            3\\
+**//And you’re done!//**
