Dreamweaver default background

[BryanChung]

Hey ... By default ... dreamweaver background is grey in color. (no, i DO NOT back "bgcolor"). As in the program background. Anyway to change it to white? Cause if I do put "bgcolor=white" .. it's not what I want.

Hope you people can understand. See my screenshot. I want the working (background) part to be white so it's easily for me to work with. But if I do Page Properties >> BG to White ... it will add the

<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {
	background-color: #FFFFFF;
}

for me which is NOT what I want.

Yeah ...

souds like you need to adjust your display properties in windows, not dreamweaver.

He's right, it's because your theme changed the default colors (i.e. pages without a background-color CSS property or bgcolor in the body tag display with the system theme colors)

[BryanChung]

Gosh .. so how do I change that if that is the case?

[wildchildx]

right click on your desktop and go to properties (or go to display properties in control panel)

go to the appearance tab.

change active/deactive window background colors. you may have to hit the advanced, or settings button from there.

my machine here at work has restrictions so i can't get there myself, but that should help.

I only see "Application Background" as the relavant one. But I changed it to white, I still get grey in Dreamweaver.

Try to use the default Windows XP Theme and see if that fixes your problem.

[cowlick]

It's Windows, not Application Background

[BryanChung]

failed.

[cowlick]

Even after changing your theme to XP blue/silver/puke or Classic?

[BryanChung]

yes even using the classic.

maybe it's dreamweaver itself?

[cowlick]

sorry, I don't know what to say..I went through all the preferences in Dreamweaver and didn't find anything related to color except code highlighting

Why don't you work with bgcolor="white" just to make yourself feel pleasant, and ultimately change it in the finalised version? :laugh:

Open ur style.css and make the body background colour as follows

body {

background-color: #FFFFFF;

}

check ur .html files for the <link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet"type="text/css"> tag at the top.

Well thats a way of implementing bgcolor in terms of css, but it is just afterall changing the bgcolor.

[BryanChung]

Yah and that is actually ont what I want. :D
