well i just tried something and it resulted in a non-white background. However, DON'T DO THIS: I went into Settings and changed the Display to MOBILE. That was the only other option. Unfortunately, the next page said something like "Sorry, this page is not displayable in Mobile mode." BUT when I clicked on "go back to home" after that, the background was pale yellow/ecru. There are other changes in the display that I don't like. BUT I can't access SETTINGS now to change back to regular.
