Apps using eclipse how do i change the background color

In the layout's XML you can set the property android:background to an RGB value like this "#ffff0000" which is an opaque red. But doing it that way kinda stinks.

You're better off defining your colors in a colors.xml file then adding resources and using the resources in your layout XML. This page describes it pretty well.

eclipse has theme in the preferences sections. I switched to the black background and its MUUUUUCH easier on the eyes after a few hours.
