Can the black background color be changed in PSPx4?

Post by DigitalDave »

Thanks to Corel for SP1. I now have toolbars I can see clearly, but the black background makes it impossible to tell if an image has a thin black perimeter border. Last release I could drag the window to size it larger than the image and it was easy to see. The attachment shows the trouble and I can't find where or how to change just the background color of the work surface without changing the color of the workspace that now works best for me. Can anyone help?

If you are talking about the menu, then I am afraid that I can see a black border quite easily, both in the smaller view within your post and when you double click the image to enlarge it and open it in a window of its own.

And I'm afraid that while Corel has now given us coloured icons and different coloured borders etc, the workspace colour cannot be changed...
