Hi Carsten,

What version of PyMOL are you using?  "ray_trace_mode, 3" used to burn
the background but doesn't any longer.  I just set my background to
white and tested all ray_trace_mode settings (with fog on) and the
background is pure white.  Can you please provide a snippet of code
that produces the effect?

Cheers,

-- Jason
