How to change background color?

[DefiantExtropia1]

I can only set background during initialization like this: new Application({ background: 0x000000 }).

I can't figure out how to dynamically update the background color after that.

renderer.backgroundColor property seems to be deprecated in v7.

This works for me fine in v7. When I view renderer in the console, I don't see any backgroundColor property, but nonetheless this works on PixiJS 7.1.2 to change the bg color as many times as I want.

 

app.renderer.backgroundColor = 0xf0f000;

Thank you very much for the clue.

I am using typescript, so it was a bit tricky to get working. But it indeed works when I use @ts-ignore flag to ignore type error as the type definition for Renderer class doesn't have backgroundColor property defined.

In v7, it's:
 

app.renderer.background.color
