brighter interface

seems that there used to be a default setting the gave you a nice bright work area...
---
I'm not building a scene .. I'm modifing models etx...
---
don't need to preview lights..
--
do some of the interface presets brighter?
below first one with no preview second with some lites... I can use iray for the scene preview and boost all settings but that's a extra layer of work...
