Just Need A Background

So I've been playing Cortex Plus lately and intend to do more on Roll20.  My problem is this: I use the Roll20 screen, not as a place to put maps, but a place to put just character counters and a couple of areas where I can "write in" new Complications and Assets, etc.  So to accomplish that, what I need is a background that is entirely black and at the same time has no scroll bars so that I can't accidentally move the entire screen.  Just one static area with tokens and some text boxes. Right now, I have a black background with all of my text boxes and whatnot, but there are screen sliders so I invariably keep hitting one or use my mouse-scroll or something and have to spend time straightening it out.  I've tried resizing the page, but while I can get it to a place where there are no scrollbars, a good portion of the screen is gray and outside of the area of my usable background. I've seen more than a few streamed games where they have just the setup that I'm looking for, so it must be possible but I have just no idea. Any ideas, guys?

If all you want/need is a black background, why not just go to the Page settings for the page and change the background color to black? Just click on the square next to Background color and pick black.
Right.  And I do that.  The problem is that I can't get the page size to be exact to what I need (to make sure that there are no scroll-bars), so I end up with either scroll-bars (page size too large) or it's smaller than the screen and I get unusable gray space around my page.
Basically I need the page to either be exactly the size it needs to be so that it is basically frozen there - no scroll bars and no unusable gray space - or to be able to lock it down so that it doesn't move even if I accidentally scroll. Playing with page sizes, I haven't been able to achieve that.

Roll20 doesn't have anything that could allow that, but you could maybe use an extension like stylish to do it (not sure if the scroll bars are manipulatable by stylish or not).
You could have an API Script that ping-pulls you to your ideal position on the tabletop.

I think you can get rid of the scrollbars with stylish, but you wouldn't be able to prevent zooming.  Sounds like a feature request is in order...
I will have to check out stylish then.  Thank you guys!

The Aaron said: I think you can get rid of the scrollbars with stylish, but you wouldn't be able to prevent zooming. Yeah, which isn't necessarily a bad thing... @-moz-document url-prefix("<a href="https://app.roll20.net/editor/" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/editor/</a>"), url-prefix("<a href="https://app.roll20dev.net/editor/" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20dev.net/editor/</a>") { body { &nbsp; background: #000; } #editor-wrapper { &nbsp; overflow: -moz-hidden-unscrollable; } &nbsp; } If you're using Firefox, and have Stylish for Firefox installed, you save the above code as a New Style, give yourself a large Page Size, play around with the Zoom Tool, and see if that's something you can work with.
Awesome! &nbsp;Thank you, Silvyre!
