Change background color via TUI for pictures

u2berggeist · September 7, 2018, 10:25

So I'm trying to change the background color of the pictures created via TUI commands (as I have it set to create an image every timestep, so all operations need to be TUI based).

The issue I'm running into right now is that the backgrounds of the pictures come out white.

For whatever reason, "/display/set/colors/background" continues to error out as "invalid command [background]" even though the documentation says the command should exist.

Using "/display/set/picture/invert-background?", I can change the picture background from white to whatever the GUI background is. This doesn't super help me though, as I still cannot change the background color via TUI.

Any ideas on how to do this? Or what's going wrong?

It seems that you need to change color scheme first

Code:

/display/set/colors/color-scheme classic
/display/set/colors/background "dark red"
/display/re-render
