Hi Monks, I have being developing a Perl/Tk application under Windows for a while. After a while I've decided to run it on my Linux (openSuse 10.2). Everything was looking right, except the background color of all frames and windows. I am doing something very simple in Windows: $mw->setPalette(background=>'black'); This results in a default black background of all windows. In Linux this doesn't work. I remember that time ago I had similar problem, which I simply solved by running X without window manager, where I could start the application normal - with setPalette working. I tried to find an option in the window manager that maybe overrides the palettes ... but with no luck. Please help me. Regards
