non-background background colour

Lay-dees and gently-types,

I have been using sodippodi for a very long time, and love it, I do, yes.

However, there is one thing that actually makes it very difficult for me to use. My eyes are very sensitive to light. I have my fluxbox all themed out nice and dark. But the outer regions of sodipodi-space remain dazzling, blinding, almost too bright to use WHITE. I see in the dialogs that I can change the background colour to any colour I want, but that is just the "chewy center" that gets changed. What about the nether regions? The outer limits? So as to not waste list bandwidth with attackmints, I do it this way:

Am I just missing the setting, or can this be added somehow?

Else, text-along-a-path and text-boxes-that-reformat-when-resized would be very, very nice features.

It's a rockin' fine app.

To all those who celebrate such soon, I wish you would have a fine holy-day time.
