V.5 How to change a screen color in component library?

I had the editor screen light color in v.4.3 . Now in v.5.0 the theme is dark color and I don't see any option to change colors. Curiously I found the way to change colors of screen in the Schematic Capture module but not in Component Editor. Was this option before but got removed?
Please help

Component Editor gets colors settings from Schematic editor. Change color settings in Schematic and close it to write settings to registry. Restart Component Editor if it's been opened to apply new colors settings.

It works, thank you. Does this not apply to the patterns editor? It has always been dark theme for me in any version.... Just curious to know as I've got used to these dark pattern editor anyways

Thanks for the tip about the schematic editor! That worked for me too. I'm also wondering about the pattern editor – mine has always been dark as well, and I haven't found any way to change it. It would be nice to have the option to switch to a lighter theme there too.

The PCB Layout editor's color settings set those of the Pattern Editor.
