I've got it to work on a Legend HCx except it I zoom a very long way out 
when it reverts to yellow.

However, I seem to recall that when I first played around with this the 
background reverted to yellow quite early on as I zoomed out. In the end 
this problem went away when I reduced the number of levels in my style 
file - originally I was using the default style which seemed to create a 
lot of levels (if you combined what was in the options file and extra 
resolutions specified in the lines/points files). Whether this was 
connected in any way I don't know.
