saving screen background color

Anonymous — Sat, 11 Sep 2010 14:41:21 GMT

Sorry if this is an obvious question, haven't found the answer.

How can i save/make persistent my screen background color (medium gray). I can't see where I can add this to my work environment schemes/profile.

Thanks for any help.

Hi Paul,

This is a per-file setting, not a global (work environment) one, so you cannot make this persistent across projects.

Ok, thanks for letting me know, sorry to learn (esp because if I save the file with my grid options, the next person to open it has to then change to preferred grid options...), but better to know. Thanks again

If you teamwork the file, then each teammate can have their own unique background color within the same project.

Thank you very much, I didn't know that. I enjoy working in Teamwork (with all its complications - our projects are small, and we are few, hard to justify imposing TW) so I look forward to trying. Regards,

I would also suggest making the background change to your template if you use one. This will start each project with the background color you want.

Right, thanks, we do use a template, but I don't want to impose my preferred background color on other users. So I guess TW is the best option.

You will need to make sure that your pen colors suit all the prospective background colors and since there's no way to make every color work, you'll need to limit the range of allowable background colors in your office.
