Wendy,
Here's what I did. Probably only useful under UNIX.
1) edit your .Xdefaults file, or
$IDLDIR/resource/X11/lib/X11/app-defaults
if you want the change to be system wide. Add the line:
(Note: "xxx" should be changed to whatever you call your program)
Idl*xxx*background: #ffffffffffff
2) In your IDL code, add this keyword statement to the widget_base()
call that makes your main widget window.
base = widget_base(RESOURCE_NAME='xxx',...)
That should do it. If you change #ffffffffffff to other RGB hex codes,
you'll
get other background colors.
