“OK” button for Application Theme grayed out

TimothyBowser1 — Sun, 04 Apr 2021 01:43:12 GMT

I am running ArcGIS Pro 2.7.2. I am trying to change the Application Theme to “Dark”. When I go to the Application Theme setting in Options, the “OK” button is grayed out and I can not commit the change.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled ArcGIS Pro twice and I still can not change the setting. My high contrast setting is off. At this point, I believe it’s a setting on my laptop but I am not sure what setting it can be.

Any suggestions?

Are you able to make any other changes in the settings?

Have you tried this?

Close all ArcGIS Pro sessions. Run ArcGIS Pro as administrator.

I am not able to make any changes in the options window because the "OK"
button is grayed out as soon as I open it.

I tryed running ArcGIS Pro as an Administrator but, it did not solve the
issue.

The issue was with the custom project location. (General -> Create Projects -> Project location) The custom location directory was invalid due to the folder location being deleted. Once updated with a valid location, the "OK" button was available and all settings were able to be saved.

For me, both my default Geodatabase and Toolbox in the Create Projects section had lost their connections, so it wouldn't activate the OK button when until I reconnected them. I also noticed a slight red line under the the word General in the left pane of the Options navigation pane.
