Page Background Color on Screen

Set display color on screen when graph page background color is None

Add Page Background Color on Page tab of Preferences: Options dialog

to specify what color to show when graph page background is <None>

This is only for display purposes. It will not affect copy page, graph export and printout.

User story:

User wants to create graph in Origin and then paste to Powerpoint with dark background color. So some text on graph set to a light color, etc. yellow. Before Origin 2024, when page background is none, we show white background and no way to change it. It’s very hard to see light color with white background.

User doesn’t want to change page background color in Origin since it will affect printout. Plus when exporting or pasting a graph with none background and put it in PPT, the dark background or images below will show through.
