Change background from grey to white

Rhino Rhino for Windows

This is probably a simple question how do I change the background to white?

Options>Appearance>Colors… You might also want to modify your grid colors if you use the grid (same place). --Mitch

thanks for the help. The mistake I was making is when you first click on appearance there is a background on thaat page which I had set to white.but I think its refering to text rather than the background of the viewport

That one is setting the background color of the command prompt - the box where the commands and their feedback are printed.

What am I missing here. I changed it to white for one purpose, and now want to change it back to gray, as my client has a bunch of yellow layers that I can barely see. I’m changing background back to gray but it’s still showing white. How did I break it? I even tried restarting in case it needed to reinitialize or something, no luck.

Hello - yeh… the viewport background color set at the application level can be overriden by a display mode - see the Display panel for the current display mode settings…

Hi, have you figured out about macro?

Hi -

The easiest would probably be to create a copy of the display mode and use the SetDisplayMode command to use it in a viewport.

I write a simple python code:

import Rhino
import System.Drawing

def layout_change(color):

# Get the current appearance settings
appearance_settings = Rhino.ApplicationSettings.AppearanceSettings

# Create a new color using the RGB values
new_color = System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(color[0], color[1], color[2])

# Set the page view paper color
appearance_settings.PageviewPaperColor = new_color

# Specify the RGB color values (e.g., WHITE)
color_rgb = (255, 255, 255)

layout_change(color_rgb)

I have changed ‘layout’ from grey to white… but for ‘shaded view’ (only) it still only shows grey no matter what ?
what am I doing wrong ? this is a new issue I have never had before btw

edit : seems to be related to using a named view (based on Cplane)

EDIT : PLEASE IGNORE
I realise there was a large element in the background of the model which was shaded and causing the issue
