No, I mis-spoke with that. I took another look at my code, and realized that 
I’m not doing *anything* with the view box. So try just doing the 
setBackgroudBrush on the plotWidget, but *don’t* set the background color on 
the view box at all. If that doesn’t work, then I’m probably missing something 
somewhere else in my code that does it…
