oldwestern Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Hi, I'd like to set a colour (not the default black) for the workspace background which is different to the document area, but I can't see how to do this. Can anyone help please? Cheers, H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 You can't set a color. You can change the shade of gray using the Preferences for the User Interface. Adjust the Background Gray Level. But that's about all you can do.

oldwestern Posted September 8, 2020 Author Share Posted September 8, 2020 Thanks for your help. Yes, I saw & tried that, but it made no observable difference to the workspace background. Maybe workspace colour is something Affinity might look into. Cheers, H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should enable you to change it to pure white or pure black or any shade of grey between those two extremes. If it is not doing that, make sure you have selected the correct slider. Note that there are two, one for artboard backgrounds & the other for documents that do not use artboards.

It has no immediate effect with no document open but you should be able to see it change in real-time if you create or have opened a document on screen R C-R and walt.farrell 2 Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

oldwestern Posted September 14, 2020 Author Share Posted September 14, 2020 Thanks you all for your input. I closed and opened the document again and this time the sliders in preferences worked. Cheers, H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
