Basically the title, there’s a reason this feature exists in base Figma. Loving slides so far, especially in design mode and grid view, but the inability to change the canvas background color causes significant usability issues. In dark mode, it’s nearly impossible to see black text elements that have been dragged into the abyss, and it would be equally hard to design a deck with a dark background. At the minimum, I would like to be able to toggle the background color between light and dark separate from the overall app theme, but it would be best to have a range of neutral hue values and/or full hex control like regular Figma.
Figma Slides: Need the option to change the canvas background color
Hey @Ryan_Borchetta, thanks for the feedback!
We’ll pass this onto our Slides team for future consideration.
We ran into this issue when collaborating because some of our teammates were working in light mode and leaving text changes around the slides on the canvas while others were working in dark mode and could not see the text because the dark text was blending into the dark abyss - it was creating confusion and forced everyone to work in one mode
