change the background color of autocad.

thanks.

Re: color background (urgent!)

My hunch is that you aren't going to get too many answers to this. While AutoCAD is written in Lisp, it's a non-standard dialect that is not used out of AutoCAD circles. Most of the folks here are unlikely to know much about it. You'd probably be more likely to get a good response from an AutoCAD-specific forum. That said, your question is welcome.

Cheers, Dave

Re: color background (urgent!)

A quick search for "autolisp background color" found these promising code snippets.

It looks to me like 0=0x000000=black and 16777215=0xffffff=white. If so, an HTML color chooser could help you pick other colors.
