Hi All,

I wish to Set a map background color for a Certain project to black, How can it be done? 

Thanks :-)

Hi Gideon,

Changing the background color of the client application is currently not possible in GMSC.

You may wish to add a Product Idea to propose and consider such functionality.

You can possibly work-around this by creating a dummy single-geometry feature (bit larger than project bounds) in DB with black styling. A drawback is that it will display as a layer in the GMSC legend.

brilliant approach Jan! The layer can also be added to a "hidden" theme, so the users won't see it.

If you are not afraid of programming, you can also do that with custom java plugin like this:

@Plugin(alias = "CustomBackground")
public class CustomBackgroundPlugin extends AbstractPlugin {

    @Action
    @Override
    public void loadOnStart() throws Exception {
        if (ApplicationContext.getProject().getMetadata().getName()=="MyBlackProject")
        {
            GMap map = ApplicationContext.getBrowser().getMap();
            map.setBackground(Color.BLACK);
        }
    }
}
