set paper color

[danjw]

The "set paper color" option appears to do nothing.
How do I change the color of the canvas? (aside from the paint bucket tool obviously)

Hi danjw,

It happens I wrote a tutorial that explains the Canvas > Set Paper Color command in depth:

The Painter Canvas - January 2007 Issue (http://apps.corel.com/painterix/community/newsletter/2007-01/index.html)

Featured Tutorial, By Jinny Brown
Set Paper Color command, Eraser's Eraser, and the new Corel® Painter™ IX.5 Eraser tool
(http://apps.corel.com/painterix/training/tutorial_set_paper_color.html?trkid=tpc0107ft)

Enjoy!
