black pasteboard workspace

A while back I heard of a way to change the grey pasteboard workspace
around the image one is working with to black...when upgrading to CS3 I
forgot how to do it....anyone have any ideas?

TIA

Use the bucket

 

Edit>Preferences>Transparency & Gamut

 

the F key toggles between window,grey and black,

 

I remember using it in CS2 to change, but in 3 it won't or is my memory
defective??

 

unfortunately that does not seem to do it. thanks anyway.

 

yes that does the trick, but I seem to recall that I could keep my menu
AND keep the work space black at the same time....

 

Ahhhh! I used the bucket tool PLUS the shift key! Thanks to all of you
who replied. cheers.

 

Use the paint bucket and click on that space with the ALT key pressed.

 

There are two possible things going on here. One is that you have the
black area as a result of hitting "F" twice. You can't change that as
far as I know. Just hit "F" again.

The other possibility is that you actually changed the gray pasteboard
in a normal mode by using Shift-Paint Bucket with Black as the
foreground color. Change it back the same way with R=192,G=192,B=192, or
trash Preferences.
