Avast and Windows XP Screensavers

Can someone confirm when you do use Windows XP/Avast screensavers do you have a “Nearly Black Background” behind the screen savers = or do you have the bluey grey background?
Why I ask is that I feel prior to updating my Windows XP Home OEM last week with the SP3 Service Pak I now do have black backgrounds to all screensavers whether they were Windows XP screensavers and or Avast screensavers?
Prior to the SP3 I feel I had the screensaver showing the background of a Grey like colour
Your comments would be appreciated

Mine are black.

Can’t you configure the background color? Sorry, now I’m on Vista…

Mine are Black, with the exception of Marquee which is a Dark Blue.

Doesn’t seem to be a way to change the background colour in XP Pro.


Did you maybe adjust the settings for your monitor or video card?
