We're running on Linux.

This is usually trivial for to do in X using .xinitrc, but
this does not seem to work.

All I want to do is change the background color of the UI.

Can't figure out how to do this.

How is this done in UPP?

I'm not sure whether I get you right, but if you just want to change the background color of a particular application see "GUI tutorial 4. Painting the view area". The deciding line is

w.DrawRect(GetSize(), SWhite);


Please take into consideration that the generic color names starting with "S" are deprecated. Cf. Draw.h. Use one of the names in Color.h:

Quote:

Black
Blue
Brown
Cyan
Gray
GrayColor(int) // 0 (= black) - 255 (= white)
Green
LtBlue
LtCyan
LtGray
LtGreen
LtMagenta
LtRed
LtYellow
Magenta
Red
White
WhiteGray
Yellow
