I use Slackware and XFCE for the gui. I set the overall gui background to a medium gray, to make colors appear more accurately to the eye. Within Scribus I add a separate background layer for the background and color it whatever I want. I am reasonably certain that you can set the background color in Ubuntu. I don't know the details. -- John Culleton Wexford Press "Create Book Covers with Scribus" Printable E-book 38 pages $5.95 http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html
