Hmm... I tried this -- but I think I am missing something.

I get the error, "The method setBackground(Color) in the type Component is not applicable for the arguments (int)"
I declared the variable black at the top and put the second line in setup().

1. color black = color(0);
2. frame.setBackground(black);

Do I need an additional library installed? What Class does the method setBackground belong to?

I've noticed a few code snippets within the Processing forums that use the frame. syntax -- but I haven't had any experience using it, perhaps there is something I need to set that I am not aware of?

I appreciate your help!

Thanks. I didn't find a method in this library for setting the background color (did I miss something?), but it does look really helpful for installations and presentations.

thanks for taking the time to clarify phi.lho.

originally when I tried directly copying and pasting the code snippet above from amnon.owed into setup(); I got the error "Cannot find a class or type named "Color" (which prompted me to try the lower case version...)

Your information above about it being in the AWT (JAVA) class helped me find your post from March 17th (on the old forum) -- and the solution:

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

 Thank You!
