I've been fiddling around with xoscope. RC trying to change the background color. I'm having no luck because I don't understand what I'm reading. I can't find anything on the internet either although I did get the idea to look for xoscope. RC and it looks like I'm in the right place. I just don't know how to edit it. I don't know what to change (what I do change has no effect).if anyone could help me out with this I would really appreciate it.
xoscope.rc follows:

#style "violet_help_label" { fg[NORMAL] = "Violet" fg[INSENSITIVE] = "Black" fg[PRELIGHT] = "Black" fg[ACTIVE] = "Black" fg[SELECTED] = "Black" bg[NORMAL] = "Violet" bg[INSENSITIVE] = "Black" bg[PRELIGHT] = "Black" bg[ACTIVE] = "Black" bg[SELECTED] = "Black" text[NORMAL] = "Violet" text[INSENSITIVE] = "Black" text[PRELIGHT] = "Black" text[ACTIVE] = "Black" text[SELECTED] = "Black" base[NORMAL] = "Violet" base[INSENSITIVE] = "Black" base[PRELIGHT] = "Black" base[ACTIVE] = "Black" base[SELECTED] = "Black" }



style "black_bg" { bg[NORMAL] = "Black" }

style "red_bg" { bg[NORMAL] = "Red"}

style "green" { fg[NORMAL] = "Light Green" }

style "cyan" { fg[NORMAL] = "Cyan" }

style "yellow" { fg[NORMAL] = "Yellow" }

style "orange" { fg[NORMAL] = "Orange" }

style "violet" { fg[NORMAL] = "Violet" }

style "blue" { fg[NORMAL] = "Blue" }

style "red" { fg[NORMAL] = "Red" }



style "red_scrollbar" { fg[NORMAL] = "White" fg[PRELIGHT] = "White" fg[ACTIVE] = "White" bg[NORMAL] = "#a00000" bg[PRELIGHT] = "Red" bg[ACTIVE] = "#600000" }
