I'm in the last chapters on the "Beginners Guide to DarkBasic" in the chapter that covers the camera views and how to place different angle views on the screen.
I can give the Camera 0 (ie. the screen view) a color for the background, but when I display the other camera views to a specific part of the screen, usually along the top, their backgrounds are always green.
Is this defalt and is there any way to have them display the background color specified at the start of the source code where I give the background a color?
Just trying to understand how works.
Thanks,
DLVinNC

Correct. Default backdrop colour for additional cameras are green.

Take a look at help for COLOR BACKDROP (type it in editor and hit F1)

It tells you;

COLOR BACKDROP Color Value
COLOR BACKDROP Camera Number, Color Value

so if you don't specify camera number, it will change current cameras backdrop color, usually camera 0

but if you specify a camera number aswell, you can change that horrid green to whatever you want.

Boo!

I didn't know that there was more than 1 camera in DB Pro. That's a good addition.

There's always been the ability to create more cameras, since... forever
