display problem.

i don't know what happened, but whenever i open photoshop, then hit F to use full screen mode, the side areas are not grey, but PURPLE! is there any way to fix this? i know it's not my display settings, because everything else looks fine.

try going to the preference panel, look through all the tabs and im preatty sure there is a setting for that? what version??

7.0, i'll check, but last time i looked, nothing was there.

heh heh - the area outside the canvas can be any color you like - just pick a color you want (grey if you like it best) hold down Shift and click anywhere outside your document borders with the bucket tool...presto

AHH! Thanks! it was an ugly purple for months! damn it.
thanks.

glad to be of help - I remember the first time this happened to me I was like - whoa - then I considered re-installing.... - ask me what happened the first time I pressed tab lol

...What happened the first time you pressed TAB ? ;)

lol - I re-installed - after trying to get my stuff back... and while it was installing I went througn the stuff that came in the box, found the small white card with all the shortcuts, banged head on desk....then went for the closest bar ...
