Layouter tool background

[Chismoso]

When using the layouter tool and reducing the clip the background shows as being a " checkered background " . How can I get it to default to " black background " instead of the checkered one ?

Thanks

are you sure you are using the layouter? by default, the bg is black unless you place a clip below in which case the clip will show

however, if using the mask tool, you have option for black or checkered

I stand corrected Sir Anton you are perfectly correct , it's the mask tool that I am talking about . . . . . can you please tell me how I can change the BG from checkered to black ?

Thank you very much.

press Ctrl+T to toggle checkered to black and vice versa

or click the function tool and untick background

Thanks a lot Anton . . .don't remember which is the function key :) but ctr+T works perfectly.

the function key is the one to the left of the zoom value
