Mar 16th, 2010, 3:31pm   I've always used this code to create a black background when presenting:  frame.setBackground(new Color(0, 0, 0)); When I use it now I get an error message: 'Cannot find a class or type named "Color". Can anyone tell me what's up? I'm using Processing 1.1 on an Apple quad-core running 10.5.8.

I think Processing 1.1 removed default import of AWT classes (they were included by default in previous versions). So you can change your call to: frame.setBackground(new java.awt.Color(0, 0, 0)); (or import java.awt.Color if you use it several times), or just: frame.setBackground(java.awt.Color.BLACK);
