FWIW, I prefer the current color as much as I prefer creamy-coloured

hurts my eyes.
But would you be opposed to having the usual colors as default?
You can
of course set your own color in the preferences.
Again, FWIW, I _hate_ white backgrounds, and spend time with each
program
to figure out how I can reprogram it to something more 'quiet'. Ever
wonder why legal pads are yellow(ish)?
Why not leave the page background undefined? Most browsers allow
selection of a default background color, don't they?
One more vote for the current background color (or at least non-
white). My reason is that the windows with a variety of background
colors are easier to tell apart when you have multiple programs
running - I can tell which is Mail, LyX, or XEmacs, even if their
windows are partly obscured so I don't see their title bars. It would
be sad if everything were white by default.
On a related note: what's going to happen to the term "ERT" if LyX
allows people to customize its color? It could become evil dark-
indigo text (EDIT)... we can't allow that!!
