RE: [ROOT] Grey/white background in default histograms

Hi Andy,

	You can always make your plots using the standard ROOT background
And then edit the ps file. Replace any sequence "0.95 0.95 0.95" with "1.00
1.00 1.00"
(that removes the gray background color). Also replace any sequence "0.665
0.665 0.665"
with "1.00 1.00 1.00" (that removes the dark gray border).

	It's a crazy solution but it works! :-)

Stelios

Oh, well .. a matter of taste of the main authors I guess (Rene and 
Fons) ... I have no answer to that. 
(I do not like that default either :-( )

I do not know an other way.
