I am a beginner with Figma and also UX Design in college. Could someone please tell me how I can change my default canvas to show the light gray as it should do each time I open a new design file? Mine is always white and it’s driving me nuts!
Thank You!

Canvas default background color?
Best answer by dvaliao
Hey Heather,
The default background color of the canvas is determined by your current theme: light or dark. While in light mode, newly created files default to a light-gray background color #F5F5F5. While in dark mode, they’ll default to an off-black color #1E1E1E.
New pages determine their background color based on the current page’s background color, and don’t rely on your current theme.
You can also manually change your background color by de-selecting any layers and using the color picker from the Background section of the right sidebar.
