How do you change the skin on Affinity Designer

[zorica3000 5]

I really hate the black background of Affinity Designer.  Is there a way to change that?

Hi zorica3000,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

There's no way to change the interface skin. A lighter interface was already requested by several users but will only come with version 2.

You can however change a few settings. Go to menu Edit ▸ Preferences..., User Interface section and change the Background Grey Level (for regular documents), Artboard Background Grey Level (for artboard based documents) and the UI Gamma (slight change) .

Does this have to be done for every new document?  I don't see why I have to change each document.  Thanks for any advice.

No, you only have to do this once.
