OpenRoad gui: change background color

[marcopoles]

Hi,
when I open a odb file with openroad -gui, I have a white background color and it is difficult to see ruler values or cell highlight. How is it possible to set the backgroung to black?

Thanks

[maliberty]

The background is normally black and there is no setting for it. I've seen a small number of people reporting white. Can you give more details of your setup?

Do you need other system details?

[maliberty]

Could you give a screen shot of the problem?

[marcopoles]

here the picture

Currently in Centos7 GCP machine i have white background.
Few months back only, with GUI updates in OpenROAD commits, it turned into white and not able to revert back to black.

[maliberty]

I believe this should be fixed with The-OpenROAD-Project/OpenROAD#4126. Please update and try again.

[vijayank88]

@maliberty thanks for the fix. Now its turned with black background.
