XnView Software

When I select and delete part of a picture, the deleted part is shown in black, how do I change it to white?

For true colour images:
Viewer menu>Edit>Background colour...

Using XnView 1.93.4 (last version before Automatic updates were introduced which freeze the program if firewalls prevent it from accessing the internet)

There is no View > Edit

XnView 1.93.4 has Tools > Options > View > Background color

but that only changes the outside background color, not the color of what's left after you select the area inside the pic and press Delete.

Image background color is in menu of v.1.96.1

OK I upgraded to 1.96.1 just so that we're on the same page.

Tools > Options > View > Background color
only changes the background color.

If you select part of the picture with your mouse and press the delete key, the deleted part is still black, see what I mean?

There are similar names throughout program. Here, a gold colour is chosen in menu for backing when a portion is deleted:

Thanks buddy.

So it was Edit > Background Color
