If you mean Photoshop GUI, dont think thats posible.
But if you mean a new canvas, You want to srat a new canvas. File new, then select Background contents, then background colour. To change your back ground colour, click on the background colour in the tools pallette, then pic your colour from there.

It is, but I can’t remember how either! It was raised here only a few days ago, but I cannot seem to find the posting.

Yes – but where’s the answer? I did try searching. You link doesn’t seem to go anywhere …
select color (192, 192, 192 is default), select the paint bucket. shift-click on the area outside the actualimage, while still in the image window (the mat area).

Ah right. That’s why I couldn’t get it to work. You need the image window bigger than the image or maximised [which I just never do].
This is not exactly what the OP wanted [I believe]. He’s after changing the background of the main PS window. That’s not possible. Right?

I don’t think so either. I just provided that cus I think that’s what others were getting at.
"You link doesn’t seem to go anywhere …"
Hmmm…For me, my link above takes me to a page with 3 Photoshop-for-Windows Forum search results, where I had used "R = 192" as the search string.
EDIT: That’s odd. I could’ve sworn that link worked. I tested it right after I posted it. Now it doesn’t work for me, either. I must have been looking at a cached page of results, right after I concluded my search.

It takes me to an odd page with the text "Post with no data" and an indication that I’m a guest user, which I’m not …
My guess is that the [temporary] search results page "belongs" to you and can only be seen by you.
Yeah…that’s probably it, Colin.
I loathe Adobe’s (actually, WebCrossing’s) Forum search. It sucks eggs. Always has.
Guess the best approach is to quote what search string you used. It was obviously better than mine!
Well, since I had answered that question a few times recently, it was easy for me to remember that the term "R = 192" was in all of them.
Still, WebCrossing’s search engine stinks.

I’m inclined to agree. I often struggle. Adobe should licence Google’s engine.
They have, Colin.
But you have to access the Google engine via Adobe’s site.
The forums are a rather separate entity.
Yes, I am after the method of changing the backround color in the main PS window. Yes it can be done because I have done it in the past, just can not remember how I did it, except it did involve the paint bucket tool
Give a fish vs. Teach to fish, Mac.
🙂
Shift+click with paint bucket to make it foreground color.

Phos, teach a man to fish…
…. and he’ll slip off from work the rest of his life.
M
Teach a man to drink, and he’ll use slipping off to fish as a cover story.
