<p class="MsoNormal">Hi<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a non-white project background colour selected in my project but when I open the print composer it doesn’t appear to add this onto my map – I am wondering is this just how the print composer works, or do I need to enable / configure
any additional options so that my project background will be included on my print composer page?<o:p></o:p></p>
