Is there a way to change the coloring of the boxes that are generated by Animate or Manipulate? The color of what is gray by default.

Animate[ArrayPlot[CellularAutomaton[n, {{1}, 0}, {40, All}]], {n, 0, 
  255, 1}, AnimationRunning -> False]

  • $\begingroup$ To change all panels, use the menu Mathematica | Preferences ... | Open Option Inspector; with Global Preferences search for panel, then select Formatting Options | Expression Formatting | Controls Options | PanelBoxOptions | Background and set to desired color. $\endgroup$

You can wrap Animate and Manipulate with Style and set the DefaultOptions for Panel:

 Style[#, DefaultOptions -> {Panel -> {Background -> LightBlue}}] & @
   Animate[ArrayPlot[CellularAutomaton[n, {{1}, 0}, {40, All}]], {n, 0, 255, 1}, 
      AnimationRunning -> False]

enter image description here

 Style[#, DefaultOptions -> {Panel -> {Background -> LightBlue}}] & @
   Manipulate[ArrayPlot[CellularAutomaton[n, {{1}, 0}, {40, All}]], {n, 0, 255, 1}]
