The background colour is defined by the window parameter not the .rp file
try the following in your .smi file

Default colour if not specified is black. The above will give you red border
around your white window displaying your pix. Can't test it here for you but
give it a try.

Also.. have added fill="freeze" which will hold your last pic in the player.
Option "remove" will do just that.
