Przemysław Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I have some design to be done in white. How do I change colour of the artboard? I was looking for half an hour and can't find it. I know, I can add a coloured layer beneath everything, but I would prefer to do it without adding the extra layer.

Przemysław Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share Posted June 14, 2018 Oh well, it will do for a moment. Can it be added to feature request, please?

Draw an artboard with the artboard tool, and click a color on the color wheel.

toltec Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 You can also fill the Artboard with a gradient or even a tiled bitmap using the Fill Tool. Quote Windows PCs. Photo and Designer, latest non-beta versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s still an extra layer, isn’t it?

walt.farrell Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 No extra layer with the approach I suggested. Not sure about toltec's.

Alfred Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 My bad. I’d forgotten that this thread is specifically about artboards, so the required ‘extra’ artboard layer is there already!

Well, the OP did want to colour the Artboard. 5 hours ago, Przemysław said: How do I change colour of the artboard? Either clicking on a colour or using a gradient fill simply colours the Artboard, it adds no extra layers. Quote Windows PCs. Photo and Designer, latest non-beta versions.

PixelPest Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Wether it´s a new document established as Arboard or one drawn by Artboard tool it says it´s a rectangle so choose your color and done: Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
