That's a nice tagline -- "A whiteboard in your pocket" -- I must use  
that for my future advertising...

I'm working on multiple selection in 2.0 which will help with this. I  
did briefly try out default settings pre-1.0 since the underlying  
Graphviz supports this, but I couldn't iron out the bugs in time for  
release and I believe enabling defaults will muddy the mental map  
users have of the app.

This is a bug that should be fixed in 1.3. If you use the Instavue Mac  
application to print and export graphs, it uses the correct background.
