change background colour in designer

[Christian Kogler]

Hi, 

I don't understand why it is so complicated to do the most simple things like changing the background colour in a new designer document. I can select colour in document settings, I even could make the background transparent, which is great, but why isn't there just also an option to select a background colour in document settings - that would be really intuitive, guys! I've been playing around now for some time already, just to find something that important and that simple.

If you use Artboards, you can set the Fill color directly for them.

I've never used artboards, will try that then. Thanks. I had solved it with a rectangle which I drew up, but that was only a work around.
