Hi Randy- > How do i control the base map color in IDV (not the map itself but the > basemap behind the map). The default is BLACK. You can use the map display's View->Color menu of the display to change the background on the fly using predefined colors, or use the View->Properties menu to set it from the Properties. If you want to set it as your preference, use the Edit->Preferences from the Main Menu and change it under the View tab.
