glClearColor() doesn't work

OpenGL OpenGL: Basic Coding

I’m trying setting the background color to blue using glClearColor(), but it seems not working …

I tried deleting GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT or writing glClearColor() inside drawGame(), but nothing…

    void MainGame::initSystem() {

    SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_EVERYTHING);
SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_DOUBLEBUFFER, 1);

    _window = SDL_CreateWindow("Game Engine", SDL_WINDOWPOS_CENTERED, SDL_WINDOWPOS_CENTERED, _screenWidth, _screenHeight, SDL_WINDOW_OPENGL);

if (_window == nullptr) {
    fatalError("SDL Window could not be created!");
}

SDL_GLContext glContext = SDL_GL_CreateContext(_window);
if (glContext == nullptr) {
    fatalError("SDL_GL cointext could not be created!");
}

GLenum error = glewInit();
if (error != GLEW_OK) {
    fatalError("Could not initialize glew!");
}

glClearColor(0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f);

}

void MainGame::drawGame() {

    glClearDepth(1.0);
    glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);

    SDL_GL_SwapWindow(_window);
}

It should color the background with blue, but the color is white.

Try calling glClearColor() at the top of drawGame() before the call to glClear(). Perhaps the clear color is being changed someplace else.

Also, before creating your window, consider adding:

SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_DEPTH_SIZE, 24);
SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_RED_SIZE, 8);
SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_GREEN_SIZE, 8);
SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_BLUE_SIZE, 8);
