Present Mode background

I couldn't find this answered elsewhere (although there are *similar* subjects), so here goes.

I'm currently finishing a short two-week workshop using Processing with the 2nd-year students at our school, and many of our projects are installations using videoprojectors that project onto various surfaces (mobile or otherwise). Some of the forms are non-rectangular.

It would be nice to have the Present Mode frame in something other than grey, for precisely these needs. A black background would at least allow us to diminish the effects of excess image (yes, I know, you can still see the black, but it's negligable, and humans tend to ignore it). Our videoprojectors don't have masking images, as some do.

Of course I could build some Java wrapper around it all, but it's a lot of work for a short workshop where we build things too fast to do such development. Most of all for each project in the class.

edit the lines for "run.present.bgcolor" and "run.present.stop.color" in preferences.txt. see the faq (or the prefs dialog box) for the location of the prefs file.
