Forum: Inkscape changing background colour

HiI,
I just started using inkscape.
It seems very good, but I want to draw in white. How do i get the 
background (alpha channel) to be displayed in another colour?
thanks,pete.

Pretty sure you can change the page colour. Look in the page settings.
Alternatively, make a new layer, draw a rectangle in your colour, lock 
it and
then draw on a layer above that.

I don't think this will stick as the default the next time you run 
Inkscape,
but maybe there's a config setting that will make it stick as default?

Do it to a fresh file, and save it over the default.svg in the share
directory to make it the standard setting for new files.
