Pcb.masterForm*output*background: black
This is from the Pcb app defaults file. (I set it to black) The app defaults should have this set to gray95, if you have a standard dist.

Problem is, if I try to set the background of the workspace using 'xrdb -merge' and appropriate values for Pcb*background, or even with editres, I can change background colors for every widget *but* the workspace. This is with the 20040903 snapshot.Now, which dot file changes the background color of Firefox?Heh. You're comparing X resources to the preference system of a program that has *two* built-in graphical configuration editing methods? <offtopic> You could always choose "Options..." from the tools menu. Or you can type 'about:config' in the location bar, type 'background' in the search box, and enter your hex colors. Also, make sure that browser.display.use_system_colors is set to false. If you *really* want the configuration file itself, it's in %USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\*\prefs.js. </offtopic> I'm not trying to say that PCB needs this level of complexity, too. But there seems to be a problem with PCB's use of the X resource system.
