Present Mode - can't get a black BG

ChrisM

Hey there!

I'm pretty new to processing and I encountered a problem I just cannot solve alone. I'm simply trying to make the background in processings "present-mode" black instead of a light grey. Of course I started googling the topic and found these two solutions:

changing: FULL SCREEN (PRESENT MODE) run.present.bgcolor = #666666run.present.stop.color = #cccccc# in the preferences.txt

and including the following line of code in the setup area frame.setBackground(new java.awt.Color(0, 0, 0));

Neither of these two solutions did help, the background stays grey.

I'm encountering this problem both on my Desktop(Windows7) and my Laptop(Windows8) The version of processing is 2.0.3 32bit.

Would be awesome if you could help!

You could just use background(), you know...

If you didn't know about background(), I suggest you look at the processing's learning page.

and for the fullscreen you can use

 void setup()
 {
    size(displayWidth, displayHeight) ;
 }
boolean sketchFullScreen() {
      return true ;
 }

open the prefs

close processing

change

FULL SCREEN (PRESENT MODE) run.present.bgcolor = #666666

to

FULL SCREEN (PRESENT MODE) run.present.bgcolor = #000000

and save

start processing again

voila
