Sounds like you need to change your part template. Don't forget to change the assembly template, too. -

Nigel,
From your comment, I take it you're aware of the setting in Tools/Options/Colors for background appearance. The radio button is normally defaults to "Use Document scene background". This is used for the RV scenes. If you want a gradient image, then click on "Image File" and load a gradient image (from the default folder of images) for the background. This is a system setting not a document setting.-

Nigel,
I understand your issue with the background.
The Correct behavior should be:
Tools -> Options -> Systems Options Tab -> Colors
Select the appropriate radio button:
Use document scene background (default)
Plain
Gradient (you chose this I believe)
Image File:
Set appropriate color options or select the appropriate image file.
Choose OK to close the Options window.
This setting should not change when you reboot, restart, etc..
Provided you have selected something other than "Use Document scene background" you should be able to open existing parts or create a new part and get the same background no matter what.
If you are not seeing this behavior something could be wrong with your user settings.
Try logging in as a different or new user with local administrator rights and set the color options for that user. See if that stays put.
Good Luck -

Adam,
I tried your suggestion above. This is the same situation no matter who is logged in. Please let me know if you have any other suggestions.
Thanks

I know have this problem fixed. I had to go into the windows registry delete HKEY_CURRENT_USER Software SolidWorks. When I reopened Solidworks it recreated this and now my background works correctly. However, when doing this ALL OTHER SETTINGS ARE LOST so you will need to reenter EVERYTHING.
