Dear Jianhong,

The parameter fill.mountain has to be a vector with 2 elements - colors.
First one is used for negative values and second one for positive ones.

Following piece of code should fill in the area in "black":


gcContent <- UcscTrack(genome = "mm9", chromosome = "chrX",
    track = "GC Percent", table = "gc5Base", from = from,
    to = to, trackType = "DataTrack", start = "start",
    end = "end", data = "score", type = "mountain", window = -1,
    windowSize = 1500, fill.mountain = c("black", "black"),
    col.mountain = "black", name = "GC Percent")


Best
Robert
