Somewhere in the Win3LookPolicy, it changes the background to white.
I would like that to be grey or something less {*filter*} the eyes.

Could some kind soul lead me though changing the background colour?

Here is what I have found:
Win95WidgetPolicy initializeDefaultGenericColors
has some code refering to background colour but when I change it and
do:
Win95WidgetPolicy initialize
Win95LookPolicy initialize

Nothing changes.

Thanks

Kevin

Try this -- it works in 2.0; haven't tried it in 2.5 yet, but I don't
anticipate it breaking:

   Screen default defaultPaintPreferences at: #backgroundColor put:
myColorValue.
   ScheduledControllers restore.

Unfortunately, it goes away with the image, so you'll have to dig deeper
into the start-up sequence to make such a change permanent. The "easy" way
is to put it into your root Application's #startUp  method, but that will
allow the screens to draw twice, with the wrong color the first time,
which might be okay if you start with only a product launcher or splash
screen.

The "right" way may involve looking at Screen class methods, like
#preInstall, #install, #postSnapshot, etc., but be careful, because bug
insertion here will result in an unrunnable image!
