Background colour for window when no file is open is white

[zakkor]

(See picture) - As far as I can see there's no way of theming the white background that appears when no file is open?

I had the same problem, but there seems to be a hardcoded workaround for this in acme.c in line 558:

if(getwindow(display, Refnone) < 0)
	error("attach to window");
draw(screen, screen->r, display->white, nil, ZP);
iconinit();
scrlresize();

changing white to black works, it makes the background black as expected. I'm not sure about other colors though. Also it kinda works as the background is not white at startup. after closing the files the white background reappears though. So not a complete fix
