    in the View menu enable the 'Command' setting

    Then at the Command>  prompt enter color192

    then in the Dipslay tab you can change the background color

    Thank you. This was very helpful. I like to change the background to white when printing snapshots of the layout to make modification drawings for the technician, so I don't waste tons of toner with a black background. I wish the background color option wasn't so hidden as to require a command to display.
