BUG: Cannot set Background color

Post by OlPhil »

Hi there,

I hope I post this in the right forum, because I couldn't find a main thread for Bug-Reports so I hope I'm right here.

First my system-specs:

Code: Select all

OS: macOS High Sierra (10.13)
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.20.29177 (Git)
Build type: Release
Branch: (HEAD detached at 0.20)
Hash: 68e337670e227889217652ddac593c93b5e8dc94
Python 3.9.13, Qt 5.12.9, Coin 4.0.0, Vtk 9.1.0, OCC 7.5.3
Locale: English/United States (en_US) [ OS: C/Default (C) ]
Installed mods: 
  * ArchTextures
So here is the Bug: I cannot change the Backgroundcolor in the settings. As you can see when I set the color to a bright blue the background color of the workbench will get a very soft blue. Am I the only one having that problem?

Greetings,
Phil

Cannot replicate on Windows with either 0.20.0 or 0.20.1, all works as expected.

@chrisb If you think this should be in the Help forum please move as it might get more attention, thanks.

I'm not at my computer, so I cannot test, but I used to have the same problem. As a simple workaround I used the gradient with both colors equal.
