If you want to begin with a background color other than white:



In the tools palette there are intersecting squares indicating the foreground color and background color. By default they are black and white. There is an arrow you can click to switch them if you want a black background. If you want a color, click on the background square, a color picker window will open in which you can pick any color.



After selecting the background color, click file%26gt; new. There will be a choice at the bottom of the window for background contents. It offers the choice of foreground color, background color or transparent. If you have preselected the background color as directed above in the tools palette, choose background color.



If you are working with an image and want the change the background around a figure, select the area you want to change using any of the selection tools, then fill the area with the color you want.



I am not sure what you mean by "make the background black and white". You can fill with a gradient from black to white:



Select the area, choose the gradient fill tool from the tool palette. Drag the tool across the area.



I hope that helps.
