Re: Default background color - awt

[Patrick L Archibald <Patrick.Archibald@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here is the final word from IBM on this question:

Right now there is no way to change this value when running in          
"headless" mode. The value when running "headless" defaults to light    
gray, which seems to be a hardcoded value.  Note that this is not       
iSeries specific.  The headless support is provided via the JDK 1.4 spec
from SUN.  If you use headless on any other platform, this is also the  
case.                                                                   
                                                                       
When using Full GUI support,  the X-server is queried for the value.    


Thanx, PLA
