You can change background color in Gas and Liquid mode too. It's defined 
by the very first color of the color map file. Of course you have to do 
it "by hand" using a text editor, editing directly the map file or the 
csproj file. For transparency, in solid mode you can export the opacity 
mask, it's in the same menu option than "save picture". You can save 
picture and if you click on the arrow near "Bitmap 24 bits (*.bmp), 
you'll find "opacity mask (*.bmp)" or something like that (I use french 
version). Use this useful feature it you plan to use Chaoscope pictures 
in a graphic editor with layer support.
For other modes I don't know why we can't change the background color, 
it's hard coded, only Nicholas could answer you ;-) But remember 
Chaoscope is "only" a V.0.3, so it will grow up to at least V 1.0. Not 
so bad for a so young baby no ;-)

Have FUN !!!
