Standalone changes objects background color from white to black
opening a text-object in a standalone the background is black and the type is white, although in the original patch it is background white, text black.
Any idea how to keep the white background and black text in a standalone?
try this :

you choose your prefered font type and size if you wish,
but the main thing is colortheme....
Thanks you for your friends advice, unfortunately it does not change anything.
best, HP
You use max 8 on windows ?
Then try this :

no on MAC 10.15.7
Sorry and thanks
I don't use system newer than 10.3.
If this does not work, it might be privileges problem.
both screenshots show messages to Max which do work in Max 8
and set Max Preferences for the text object.
