GH Viewport Settings- inaccessible??

Something has changed with my GH viewport settings... The background is white (no grid displayed)... everything thing else seems fine i.e., functionality and Rhino Viewports.

I haven't customized the GH viewport in the past, so I am not sure how things are accessible.

I am looking under File>Preferences>Display

Unsuccessful attempts to get the default display back have included:

Restarting computer, Uninstalling GH and Reinstalling. I backed up my custom components, and Special Folders to a jump drive... prior to uninstalling, but I don't think I am really uninstalling correctly... because when I load a fresh install of GH 9.0006, my old plugins and User components are already loaded up.

Has anyone else experienced this changed GH viewport?

Any advice is welcome.

I will post again if I figure it out.

Thanks.

btw, I am using Windows 7 (64bit), Rhino 4 SR9, Lastest GH 9.0006

Hi AB,

sounds like something is wrong with the Skin file. Start Grasshopper, go to the File menu -> Special Folder -> Settings Folder. Terminate Rhino+Grasshopper and delete the grasshopper_gui.xml file. All canvas settings should go back to default.

There is no interface for changing the canvas background colour, but it is possible to change it via the Grasshopper SDK or by editing the xml file. I do not know how the settings were changed, but if it happens more often, let me know.
