[Laszlo-dev] Fwd: reference nave pane has dark background

[Lou Iorio]

I think I'm insulted.

What's wrong with setting the background color explicitly instead of
relying on the default?

I was going to file another bug for the color issue, but I don't know  
what
category under which to file it. Perhaps you could file it.

BTW, I would never consider wallpaper.
