Designer Transparent Background Problem

[zwilson]

I worked through this icon design tutorial and everything went fine until I setup to export the icon as a png. I have this light peach color where I thought I would have transparent pixels after disabling the the reference grid layer. I solved the problem by copying the icon group into a new document and exporting from there.

I posted my file if anyone wants to look at it and see you can find where I messed up.

You've given your Artboard a peach Fill color, as shown in the Context Toolbar when the Artboard is selected:

Click on the Fill color well, then in the upper-right corner click on the Transparent icon (circle with /).

Thanks. Something so simple didn't even occur to me. I hunted through ever layer looking for a peach rectangle.

You're welcome.
