Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

When I use the CLS (colour) command the screen clears but the background will not change to the colour specified in the command. I'm sure it worked in a previous version.

It definitely works:

are you using the correct syntax?

CLS RGB(RED)

if you do "CLS RED" then RED is just a newly created variable which will be initialised to 0 (black) - problem avoided if you always use OPTION EXPLICIT

You can also set the default colours with:

COLOUR RGB(RED),RGB(BLUE)

this then means CLS will write a blue background and other drawing functions (e.g. BOX) will default to red; text will be red on blue.Edited by matherp 2015-08-12

Thanks I was using CLS Red
Silly me I used the correct syntax before

Edit..... Why didn't I get a syntax error, that would have pushed me in the right direction.
