Setting a default background color to white in VIVA

Hello,

Before posting this question, I have searched the forum for possible answers but found these three related topics:

community.cadence.com/.../default-settings-for-viva-waveform-viewer

community.cadence.com/.../default-settings-for-viva-waveform-viewer

 community.cadence.com/.../setting-up-used-defined-graph-properties

When I try to set my default background color to white in ViVA ADE XL through .cdsinit by writing

This two lines:

envSetVal("viva.rectGraph" "background" 'string "white")
envSetVal("viva.rectGraph" "foreground" 'string "black")

And in .cdsenv 

viva.rectGraph foreground string "black"
viva.rectGraph background string "white" 

It is not setting the background color to black.

 

What am I doing wrong?

 

My Virtuoso version is IC6.1.8-64b.500.1

    Hi,

     In IC618 there is a new environment variable that needs to be set to change the background color in ViVA. Set the below in .cdsinit:

    envSetVal("viva.graphFrame" "background" 'string "white")

    Regards,
    Dimitra
