Way to create a new canvas of specified colour
As far as I know there is currently no way to create a new blank canvas in XnView software?
Re: Way to create a new canvas of specified colour
No, not from scratch. Here's a workaround:
Create new canvas with specified background color
Create new canvas with specified background color
- load any image
- resize Canvas [Shft+C] with desired background color
- copy small selection of new background
- select all [Ctrl+A]
- paste [Ctrl+V]
- save result to new file
Best regards,

Re: Way to create a new canvas of specified colour
Thanks for the workaround, but I think a direct method specifying the desired canvas size and colour would be a useful addition... 

Re: Way to create a new canvas of specified colour
Yes of course, the workaround is meant as a (hopefully) temporary workaround.

I would do it like this:
File | New...
And then, as @cday said, a dialog appears with the dimensions (W x H) and the Color.

Pfff... Pierre... I would renounceδ for a long time to search this feature if I wouldn't love you. Yes, I am serious.
I would add it also in the File \ New.
