It’d be awesome if I could change the BG color of the entire work area because mostly my team’s UI uses white. Pretty please? 😍

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

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.

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
