Power. Master Every Angle. XSI v3.0
Undocumented environment variables #2
set XSI_EDITORS_WHITE_BG=1
This undocumented env var was mentioned on the XSI mailing list back in 2008 (ice tree background), but I found out about it another, more brute force, way.
* undocumented env var #1 was XSI_DISABLE_NEW_PICK (see also here, where XSI_DISABLE_NEW_PICK is a workaround for failed component selection in a virtual environment like Parallels)

The State of the Art
SOFTIMAGE|3D is the art, skill and rhythm of 3d animation –
system for animators who have consistently produced ground
breaking animation, signature effects and photo-realistic
imagery. It is the result of a decade of evolution – from
interface design that put control back into the hands of
artists, to the breakthrough character animation of
Godzilla. SOFTIMAGE|3D The State of the Art, Defined.
