Change canvas background color

🙏🙏🙏 + disable dots grid

You can do it right now: Main menu › View › Show dot grid.

It’s only your personal view settings. I mean I want to disable it for all viewers and for embed.

You could use “Section” and make the section grey to change the background

please do it… i really need to change background color and disable dots grid

Do something like Microsoft whitheboard.

In Microsoft this feature is so good.
Btw please add feature to Figma app to have full screen

Please! we need the possibility to change the Figjam background color.
Thanks in advance!

Upvote, this should be low hanging fruit for the devs.

Updoot! Background color options for Figjam would be so tight. Or at least a dark mode for the love of my eyeballs.

For now, I just added a section around everything and change the color to a dark one. It can help if you really want to work with the screen darker.

that’s cool ! bravo !

THE SOLUTION!

Bumping this. I am using a huge black shape in the background, which is clunky but ok. However when pulling it into Notion, it doesn’t respect its layer order and displays the big black shape on top of everything.

I can’t believe it’s as easy as changing the Background while nothing is selected. That isn’t nearly as obvious as it should be. I think it should be called Canvas Background, and should be accessible from the Preferences section of the main Figma menu—or from the context menu when you right click on the Canvas itself. This is pretty poor UX.

It should also be applied across all pages as the default, and have a Light and Dark variant setting, so when the theme changes, the background adapts.

Bumping this too. Adding the ability to force the color changes for everyone and not only the personal view would be great as well.

BUMP - please get to this soon, we’re developing a web app with a dark mode UI and a solid white background is making it hard to see the shades because it’s such a bright contrast to the canvas, this seems like a relatively low effort high reward change that you could make

BUMP - It’s in Figma, make it so you can change the background colour in FigJam NAOW

Hi, has there been any resolution to this? I would l really like to change the background color of figjam to something darker. Thanks!

I agree with most folks on this thread, I’d love the option to change the BG for FigJam.
A quick fix is to use the “Selection (Shift+S)” tool to create a large BG that can be customzed

I’m using a very big grey rectangule, sending to back and locking it

Please change Figjam’s background color to light grey. The current white background feels too contrasted and overpowers other colors above. Thanks

Bumping this, would be great to be able to change FJ’s background. Thanks!

thanks. the white bg was annoying me 🙂

Any update on this? Dark mode is essential on such a large bright canvas!
