Color picker to change color of build plate

Hi,

I am very new to S3D and want to have a simple feature:

Please add a color picker to change the color of the grey build plate.
(the one with the grids lines where the models are placed).

I feel the dark grey is a littlebit too heavy and I want to change that as I like.


Thanks!

Agree, for a different reason, after yet again accidentally stopping a print. I have four printers running off 2 instances of S3D on two laptops.
Something like this would help so I know which window is operating which machine.

Re: Color picker to change color of build plate

Just another idea, I've added a 3D model of my printer's bed that I use instead of the generic flat build platform. They already have options to load a 3D model for the print bed, and you can also change the color of that bed. So that could be an easy option if you want to build platforms to look different or use a different color.

Thanks CCarl, I hadn't thought of that.
Have just set it up, so far so good. Thanks
