Hi Paul,<br><br>Maybe late to the show, but another strategy would be to explicitly state the bgcolor in the WMS request that OpenLayers composes like so:<br><br>var wmsmap = new OpenLayers.Layer.WMS(<br> "Service name",<br> url,<br> {<br> width: '600',<br> height: '512',<br> srs: 'EPSG:28992',<br> layers: 'Dutch provinces',<br> styles: '',<br> format: 'image/png',<br> bgcolor: '0x8FCAE7'<br> },<br> {<br> singleTile: true,<br> ratio: 1,<br> attribution: '© 2009 Kadaster',<br> visibility: true,<br> isBaseLayer: true<br> }<br>);<br><br>Hope someone can benefit from this as well.<br><br>Cheers,<br><br>Edward<br> </body>
