X-windows black on white [message #5112]

Hi

I want to have a white background with black foreground as the default when
using the X device. By having a file called init.pro containing the lines

!p.background=255
!p.color=0

and having the environment variable IDL_STARTUP set to init, whenever I begin
an IDL session, the above lines are executed and any X plots come out as I
want. But if I ever issue the command set_plot,'X' (e.g., after producing
some output with set_plot,'PS', IDL switches back to a black background
with a white foreground.

Is there any way to specify that the default should be the other way round?
Can I somehow specify the !D.FLAGS system variable to do this? If so, how?

Many thanks
