Tomeu and Gary, Thanks for your advice and interest.
I've attached my complete activity (OurMusic) in the form of an .xo archive.Note that it requires csndsugui.py (included), Victor Lazzarini's "Csound GUI toolkit." It's barely possible that the color issue lies therein (but unlikely).
The background color issue is the only issue when the activity is run on OLPC; on SoaS, there is another as well: an "unavailable" csnd or _csnd module (from python 2.6). For the latter issue, Aleksey suggested a Scons-related fix (that I've yet to be able to implement, unfortunately, as my technical expertise is *highly* limited).
If you manage to get an initial display on a white background, I'd be most grateful.
If you do have/get a display, probably options 2 and 4 will work for you; they use only the ASCII keyboard, no MIDI controllers (unlike 1 and 3). I'd be delighted if these worked on SoaS.
Gary, I'll be trying your code as well. I presume it should go near the beginning in my main loop? (Sorry, my grasp of both python and GTK -- OOP for that matter -- is so minimal.)

I'd like mine to be white. Is there any way to change this in my activity script?That looks good to me, perhaps ibox contains some other widget that is covering it completely? Regards, TomeuI tried: import gtk win = csndsugui.CsoundGUI(self) ibox = win.box(False) ibox.modify_bg(gtk.STATE_NORMAL, gtk.gdk.Color(0xFFFF, 0xFFFF, 0xFFFF)) where ibox = the entire screen. However this changed nothing. Anything fairly straightforward I could try?
