How can I change the background color of the scene?

Development
1

I tried to call renderer.setBackgroundColor(ColorRGBA.Blue), but nothing happened.

By the way, I also can’t change the title by settings.setTitle();

For the Title issue:



private static AppSettings settings;



public static void main(String[] args) {

yourApp app = new yourApp();

settings = new AppSettings(true);

settings.setTitle(“Your Title Here”);

app.setSettings(settings);

app.start();

}



You must set the app settings BEFORE starting the app however, so make sure this happens here! :slight_smile:



Not sure how to set the background color though. I recall something a while back about it being broken, but I’m not 100% sure if this is still the case.



Cheers!

It should be:

[java]viewPort.setBackgroundColor(ColorRGBA.Blue);[/java]

Where did you get the (non-working) code sample with “renderer” from, does it need to be updated in one of the tutorials?

I searched in the java code and found there is a .setBackgroundColor() function in the renderer, so I thought that might be the function to change the background color.
