yes that does the trick, but I seem to recall that I could keep my menu AND keep the work space black at the same time….

Use the paint bucket and click on that space with the ALT key pressed.

There are two possible things going on here. One is that you have the black area as a result of hitting "F" twice. You can’t change that as far as I know. Just hit "F" again.

The other possibility is that you actually changed the gray pasteboard in a normal mode by using Shift-Paint Bucket with Black as the foreground color. Change it back the same way with R=192,G=192,B=192, or trash Preferences.
