Francois Levy Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 A user in our office has requested a background color other than black or white. Does anyone know of a plug-in or script that allows customization of the BG color? I am not, of course, referring to RenderWorks layer backgrounds. One sloppy workaround would be to have a huge rectangle of a desired color on a dedicated layer, with a Saved View that would activate that layer. Not perfect though ... Should I x-post this to Wish List? Quote Link to comment
islandmon Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Sure post the Wishlist for unlimited background colors ... why not... what's the big deal ? With modern GPU the sky's the limit ... remembering that only black & orange & green were once the limits of it. Then came white ... whoa .. white ... it was 1984 .. i think Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Having a color other than black or white as the background is a big undertaking with reference to the color palette, and would become a big issue if the file was read by anyone using a background other than their user specific color. Is there a specific color they are looking for? As it is not - the black and white colors in the color palette are reversed depending on whether the background is black or white. This is why you can open a file created on a black background with white pens and see the pens as black on a white background. Quote Link to comment
jfmarch Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 i have used both black- in my ACAD days, and now white. white seems so much better, especially since it is the medium of choice for documents. if glare or eye strain is an issue, you can play with the monitor brightness controls. just curious why a color is requested?

Francois Levy Posted April 12, 2007 Author Share Posted April 12, 2007 Personally I like white and have for years. My colleague seems to think black is easier on her eyes, and that a soft grey or Borco mint might be even better. To each her own I suppose. Quote Link to comment
