I added a ~/.viking/maps.xml to get TopOSM maps loaded.
Once I had the syntax corrected it turned the background
solid black instead of the nice tan color. Bascially changed
files to be downloaded from .png to .jpg
I'm not sure if this really bug a setting but wanted to report
on it.

I'm not sure to understand your problem. What is the configuration you used?

I also suggest you to try configurations listed in the following page:

It turns the background black on viking if there is no maps loaded or selected.

Regarding the colour:
Oops, I inadvertently broke it - in commit SHA1: 348e86667fea13b65d71e4fbe9bf1a2b8ed84f6f
For a new session, the *text* of the background colour is never actually set, thus it defaults to zero (which is black)
So the bug will be present in versions 0.9.96 + 1.0.0

I've submitted a patch to fix it, to the viking-dev mailing list.
It should be in the source / release soon...

NB I think this should be added into the 1.0.XYZ fix release.

NB2 Thus it is unrelated to your setup, so thanks for the bug report!
