Hi. I've just got DarkBASIC and really can't figure out how to change the background colour from that annoying blue colour.

There will probably be a simple code like MAKE BACKGROUND NOT ANNOYING BLUE or something like that, but I'm a simple guy

Thanks in advance,
Greg.

Just put this at the top of your program:

backdrop on
color backdrop rgb(0,0,0)

Then it'll be black!

The set gamma command sets the whole screen colour, so you could flash the screen with white, or fade the screen to black. The background command simple sets the background colour of your screen, so you can have a normal coloured sprite with different coloured backgrounds.

If you want a realistic sky then you may want to check out the demos that come with DB (like the Jetski demo) and learn about skyspheres.
