1. Click "Edit" - "Preferences".

2. When the "Preferences" dialog box appears, click the "Full Screen" link in the left pane.

3. In the right pane, click the box next to "Background color" and choose your desired color from the color palette. Or, click the "Other Color" link to choose from any available system color.

4. Click "OK" to save your settings.
