[Ipe-discuss] Canvas color

[Marc Glisse]

prefs.lua contains:

-- Canvas customization:
prefs.canvas_style = {
   paper_color = { r = 1.0, g = 1.0, b = 1.0 },  -- white
   -- paper_color = { r = 1.0, g = 1.0, b = 0.5 }  -- classic Ipe 6 yellow
[...]

so you should be able to change that in a customization.lua file.
