Hi All,
How do I change the background. I went into properties and changed it to light blue, but when I exported as png, I got a checker board background.
What did I do wrong?
Many thanks, -T

Figured it out. Create a zero width rectangle with a low opacity, then fill it with color
There are two colors in the document properties. The one you changed to blue is for previewing in inkscape, the other one which is right next to it is the background color for export, which is set to 0 alpha by default.

I only have one field for background color in 0.92.1 (and no field at all in trunk...), but it's a field that is broken in two - left half shows transparancy, right half base color, just like the color indicator at the bottom left of the Inkscape window.
The most reliable method, which will also be exported into all export formats, is to add a colored rectangle to the background of the drawing.

That is what I did.
