background color on present mode or fullscreen

in General Discussion • Other • 4 months ago

When I run an example like 'array' in present mode (size is 640x360) everything outside the windowless window is grey. is there a way to change this color to black for example.
I'm new to programming and processing and just can't seem to find this answer. I'm sure its simple.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I believe you have to change -> run.present.bgcolor= #666666

inside file preferences.txt

This changes the prefs for all sketches but if you want to just alter the colour in the sketch itself use

frame.setBackground( new java.awt.Color( 255 , 0 , 0 ));

that goes in setup() {}

This is for PRESENT mode / fullscreeen

from the awesome list at

hey, thats even better. although I do like the black as default.

Sometimes when I run it it using "frame.setBackground( new java.awt.Color( 255 , 0 , 0

));"
the window has another black window behind it. not every time though.
 here is a screen shot of the 'array' example but adding 
-- frame.setBackground (new java.awt.Color(0,100,100)); -- I put this right
after size(640,360);





any ideas?
