    Hello all,

    I every time use the latest stable "appimage" version on Kubuntu.

    I'm every time surprising when I start a new document in Inkscape, or, when I directly open (for importation) a PDF file.

    The result is :
    An A4 document with GREY background ? ...why this strange setup ?  🀨
    Why the default document not have a white background ?

    After that, I make and save a new model "by default" with white background. Now it's ok, when I open a new document (CTRL+N), the document have a white background.
    BUT, from file explorer, if I make a right click on a PDF file to "open with Inkscape", Inkscape start, import the PDF and ...show the PDF with a GREY background 😑

    So, can I definitely setup a white background for all file, new or importation? How to make this ?

    Thanks!

    It could be that the PDF does not contain a white background at all.
