Yep, exactly what I tested, first I selected an image, selected View Image, then made the preference changes, and the background of the image being viewed changed with every change. One thing I left out was in SeaMonkey I had to select "Use my chosen colors, ignoring the colors and background image specified" under "When a web page provides its own colors and background", when I picked a color from the palette. Of course that will change the way web pages appear, so may not be a fix for most, and I think the change is rather nice. Another thing I probably wouldn't have noticed if the whiners hadn't come out. -- Thunderbird Daily | openSUSE 12.1 | KDE 4.7.2 Humans aren't a color of skin, a religion, a sex, a sexual orientation, or a flag.
