Peter, You would not BELIEVE how ungodly ugly that "(display-color-map '((background "#ffffff")))" in my gschemrc makes gschem's screen. It's the grid lines that are doing it in, but the text is unreadable. and, frankly, the screen is unreadable. I'm using 1.5.2 now. I did notice that now there's a "view" light color scheme included as a menu option that looks fine though. Of course, it would be nice if it could save th e configuration when you change it.

Kurt I personally think the new way of configuring colours is much clearer and more intuitive than the old way. But then I wrote it, so I'm biased. :P You can change the background colours in your personal configuration file as follows: ; To set the display background to white (display-color-map '((background "#ffffff"))) ; To set the print background to BRIGHT RED ;) (print-color-map '((background "#ff0000"))) Or you can make your own colour configuration file in the same format as e.g. ${prefix}/share/gEDA/gschem-colormap-lightbg, put it somewhere in your home directory, and load it from your personal gschem configuration file.
