Getting used to Pro

I have older CAD (UG) experience and some SU Free experience (10 years ago). I am getting used to the Pro 2025 interface. Appreciate your patience with this pseudo-noob.

Searched around and couldn’t figure this out. Why are the bloody material icons so dark? And scaled so small?

Thanks so much

That’s a new and somewhat controversial addition to 2025, it is to do with the very new photo real features that are now available within sketchup.
You can download a library of older materials from the 3d warehouse, or build your own.

Thank you. I was wondering if that was my only option to download a new library.

Or transfer one from an older installation.
