paperspace color
Hi, I found a thread connected to this question but seem to have lost it.
I am trying to change the color of the paperspace screen from grey to black. I opened_CONFIG options display but could not locate 'GraphicsPSscreen color' as suggested.
I have set paper space background color to black but this only sets the background of the viewport or print border.

The variable is BKGCOLORPS. You can type it into the config dialog and it will jump to it.
Hope that helps.

If I understand Stephen's query correctly he is trying to make the entirety of the paper space a constant colour (not just the "plot area"). BKGCOLORPS only seems to affect the "plot area". Please correct me if I am wrong but I can't find a setting that covers this?

Oops... I'm no help then.

At present the color of the paperspace background cannot be changed in Bricscad. We'll try to free up some time later this year to add this as a new option.
Kind regards

Hi, yes , the difficulty is related to the whole of the paperspace background. Autocad has the facility to set all of these colours.
I use paper space all the time and my colour scheme does not fare well on the grey background.

Hi, just to expand a little further.
Up to this time, I generally have more than one sheet of a drawing in one layout tab. I have worked out that if I change the location of the plot window using page setup, I can view each sheet comfortably. However this is not so user friedly for some of the staff who wish to just open a drawing and check a plan or get some information from it.
The solution at present. I guess is to place each sheet of a drawing on a separate layout.
Cheers

I also have 3 - 8.5" x 11" sheets side-by-side iin the same layout...I know this isn't the standard, but its easier to review the pages side by side. They fit nicely on the screen with a wide-screen monitor.
I use a series of light gray lines that do not show up in the "border area" of paperspace. It would be useful to control the two background colors used in paper space.

Kind of like we're heading right back to the X-Window resources isn't it :-)

if you go to Settings interface, under Program options and then Display, the third option there is for the paper space background color. I am using version 9.2.15, and it allows me to change the color there.
