You can do this, just make sure you have nothing selected and change the ‘Background’ colour on the right-hand sidebar.

Edit: didn’t realize this was re: FigJam, ignore 🙂

When we insert an app frame (with a white background) into Jam (white), at scale, our design becomes indistinguishable due to the white background of the board itself, and this cannot be changed.

Please add Background color setting to the FigJam board.

Can we have an option to change the background color or add a frame option? When importing frames that are white the frame is mixing up with the background.

I would like the capability to change the background color in FigJam. I normally use Miro, and am accustomed to a gray background. I use Miro for design reviews with clients and team members.

+1. Also, this may help if you try to do design critiques for dark-themed screens

Agree - I was trying to get around this issue, by adding in a dropshadow to my screenshots, or allowing add a border around images, Neither which I think is possible. But main issue is that the image blends into the background. This could also happen if the background was dark, and I was taking screenshots of a dark interface… trying not to solutionize 😉

+1 for this!

Workaround is copy/pasting a filled shape, send to back, and then locking it

Yes please, my eyes are burning with all the white

I’ve attach my design file from design file to figjam. My design screen is white and I wish I can change the figjam background to make it contrast with my design.

Will be nice to get a black (or at least darker then gray) color option for all the created objects like notes and shapes and for the main background as well

Added possibility to change the background color, currently white for other cores.

To Figma team developer I want a feature for the Figjam file ( drawing feature ) I want the feature to change the background to dark color because when I drawing something at night if Figjam has this feature dark color its will so good for my eyes.

Thank you for Figjam I love it so much ! 🙏 ❤️

As we all know figma desktop has no dark theme support but there is still option to change the background color in a file.

But FigJam has no feature like this one.

So please give background color change option in Jam.

Thanks and Regards

Yeah, I’d like this feature as well. I’m using figjam for an initial product assessment and am using a lot of screenshots which show up as white on the white dotted background. It’s readable, but having some background/foreground contrast would be helpful.

I would like to be able to set a different canvas color. Since quite a lot of my designs or elements are on a white background themselves, they are very hard to see, if the canvas can only be white.

Same here!

Man, I need this badly.

Additonal comment here, in case folks are not following. Goto Figma, Create the shape (square will do) make it the colour you want. Copy as SVG and Paste into Figjam. Then send to back, lock and Voila. Not perfect but workable

If I add a screen or image with a white background, it’s difficult to see where the image ends. I’d like to either add a stroke or change the background colour of the canvas so I can see the images as blocks

Can this request be implemented in the near future? I don’t want to beat a dead horse here, but I’m another user have pretty much all of the issues everyone has mentioned in this thread. I notice this overall thread has been ongoing for about 8 months at this point, and it would be great if we were to get an update from the Figma team on this. Thank you! 🙂

We’re still in need of this feature. HELP. Adding screenshots with white backgrounds makes them half-visible 😦

Yes!! Please add this capability! Or at least allow the frames copied from figma to have a shadow so it stands out from the white bg like InVision. PLEASEEEE!

Would STILL LOVE THIS TO BE A PRIORITY 😇

This should be easy to implement, right?! 😀 Come on now.
