How to change cadence schematic background color to white?
We can't see it clearly when project the schematic onto wall with a projector if the schematic has black background.
Thanks.

cadence background color

1) Open the .Xdefaults file in edit mode
The .Xdefaults file is your home directory. If it is not there, then create it using xrdb -query > .Xresources
2) Change the "Option Opus.editorBackground: black" to the color you desire
3) xrdb .Xdefaults
4) Invoke the icfb

This will change the background colors of both the Schematic and Layout windows.

It is quite painful but works.

Thanks. I try it. But it don't work :-(
No .Xdefaults file in my home directory. So I create one with
xrdb -query > .Xresources (OR xrdb -query > .Xdefaults???)
This is a blank file. I add "Option Opus.editorBackground: white" into it and invoke icfb, NO change!
Please give a detail steps. Thanks again!
