Any of you Magnet Field gurus know if it's possible to change the map background color? I don't want a map or photo, just a darker background so that I can more easily see the linework.

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply, @linebender, I've tried that, but it doesn't seem to change the map background. It changes everything else, though (menus, etc.). With my usual layering/color scheme on a white map background, it's tough to see some of the linework in the bright sun.

I don't use magnet, but isn't there an option to make the map lines all black?

Magnet Field map background is fixed to white. As far as I know, it can't be changed. White background in daylight conditions works best with dark-colored line work. I always change line colors such as yellow and cyan in CAD files before importing into Magnetfield. You can also change the line weight and styles.

Thanks, Lee, I have been changing line colors, as needed. Guess I may need to revisit my coloring scheme...
