Two questions/concerns regarding PPX7...I cannot find answers in the online Help.
1. Is there a way to make the workspace background darker? It's almost white (sampled the color and it's R240-G240-B240) It makes it EXTREMELY hard to see. Whether working on photos are starting an image with a white background I want my workspace darker, please. Ideally, I am hoping there is a way I can choose???
2. I have checked the box for Automatic View Resize. If I un-dock the tabbed image/window, I assume the window should resize as I zoom in/out. It's not working. I also cannot manually resize the window. The arrow come up if I hover over the window edge, but it will not let me resize the window.

P.S. I love the new X7 Fill properties!!!! Haven't explored them totally, mind you, but so far I like what I see.
Hello pranderson; Would this be what you are looking for?

No, George, that's not it. I'm talking about the workspace background...or the document/work area background in Photo-Paint X7. Maybe I'm not using the right terms. It's the blank gray area that surrounds the image. I want to make it darker. When working with photos (or an image with a white background), it's best to have it a neutral gray or darker. Here's a screen shot for PPX7. I created a new image 800px x 600px with a white background.
I played with the Appearance contrast options under Customization. Changing these has no effect on the work area, only the toolbars and menus. What you see above is High contrast. Too much white!!
Sorry Patti, that was all I found, maybe someone else?
Hi Patti,
I agree with you, it needs to be darker, not happening in x7, I can't find an adjustment either. Perhaps sunglasses<G>
See my attached printscreen.
Undock the image. Select, hold and drag the image. It undocks and there you go.I can see this not entirely like you whant it. But its the best we can get right now I guess. I need the darker too
Made a quick video to demo how these new X7 windows are behaving (for me anyway). I undocked the image and then attempted to resize it to fit the space. Mind you, I am overworking it here, just for the demonstration.
I do have the PP application window restored down so I can show how trying to resize it results in some weird screen things. I can resize the windows from the left, but not from the right. Anyone else seeing this?
I also noticed that if I right-click on the title bar there is no context menu for Restore Up/Down, Move, etc. Here's the menu you usually see when clicking on any Windows main title bar. This may be as designed for X7 and may be related to the resizing the windows???
I watched the Video.
Thanks
