Background Color Template

[Rita Seliba]

Whenwe insert an app frame (with a white background) into Jam (white), at scale, our design becomes indistinguishable due to the white background of the board itself, and this cannot be changed.

Please add Background color setting to the FigJam board.

To Figma team developer I want a feature for the Figjam file ( drawing feature ) I want the feature to change the background to dark color because when I drawing something at night if Figjam has this feature dark color its will so good for my eyes.

Additonal comment here, in case folks are not following. Goto Figma, Create the shape (square will do) make it the colour you want. Copy as SVG and Paste into Figjam. Then send to back, lock and Voila. Not perfect but workable

I have a button whose Background is bound to a property in my ViewModel. The same button also has a command whose implementation is in my ViewModel. The clicking toggles a boolean in my VM & that changes both the text & color of that button. All good so far, but when my mouse hovers over, I get this blue color to remove which I have a control template in my Style. Problem is now upon button click, only text changes, no background change & no mouse over change. Following is my Button definition

I have seen the example on SO about how to set this control template, but my question is kinda two fold1) Why is my IsMouseOver property not working2) Why are my background color Button property that has bound props in my VM not working

You should add an element like Border or Grid to your ControlTemplate where you set the Background with a TemplateBinding to the Button's Background. Then make the Trigger change that element's Background instead of the Button Background:

You can also use variant modifiers to target media queries like responsive breakpoints, dark mode, prefers-reduced-motion, and more. For example, use md:bg-green-500 to apply the bg-green-500 utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

By default, Tailwind makes the entire default color palette available as background colors. You can customize your color palette by editing theme.colors or theme.extend.colors in your tailwind.config.js file.

Is there any way to change the background color of the interface from white to something else? I was very excited to see the Evernote Clearly interface because you could click the lamp and change background of the page! However when I realized the page could not be saved that way in Evernote, I was very disappointed. As we may all know the intense white background on most interfaces is a doozey on our vision, so anything to assist in improving that would be a huge plus. Maybe the ability to change the white background to light grey or dark grey background with black text, or black background with white text, etc...

Please add the ability to change the background color. I using the evernote to read a lot off big texts and for me the white background is too bright. I'd to ability change the color to adapt for better reading experience.

Now it has been 8 Years this thread exists. For most apps in general a dark mode is the most normal thing in the meantime and evernote STILL does not provide it for Windows. Let alone an option to change the background colour. Meanwhile Notion is getting better every quarter. These folks don't seem to take 8 Years to implement a simple, normal and common request.

Much of what we learn would be easy if they are uniquely associated with only that particular topic. But in reality what we learn overlaps with a lot of things we learn later in life and once that overlap occurs we get confused and we forget.

Hi, yep I would also very much like to be able to change the background colour of my notes in Evernote. I particularly like the yellow background in Mail Notes in OS X, but hate the way notes are integrated into Mail, which is part of the reason I have switched to Evernote.

Agreed. A yellow ruled (or quad-ruled) background makes notes look like notes, and sets them off from everything else on the screen. It also sets them off from the lists and icons within the evernote window. It's a first step to a more visually appealing (and more functional) evernote window.

I would like to backup this idea too. There are too many occasions when I clip contents from websites with background color, I am forced to manually remove the background color to match with my notes.

Oh, come on, DTlow. You do this EVERY SINGLE TIME. You've got some compulsion (1) to pretend that votes here in any way, shape, or form influence Evernote's development priorities, and (2) to pretend that a desire for a night-mode / dark-mode (or any subset of it) is something hardly anyone wants.

Seriously, I know getting that posting count up is a great high, but these boilerplate poo-pooings of what many, many, many users have been asking for for many, many, many years accomplish nothing BUT incrementing your counter. Let our voices be heard; save yours for when you have something productive and positive to say.

It's ridiculous. People have been asking for the simple ability to change the background colour of notes for a decade (at least), and still Evernote does nothing about it. You can even do it in Google Keep, and that's free. Come on Evernote. A lot of people want this, so please add this feature. It would be hugely helpful to be able to instantly see what sort of note something was by its colour.

If you use note templates, as Robin Lee's (welcome to the forums!) comments suggested, you can have any background color you want. However, changing it is the tricky part, and it is also not possible on mobile clients to change text color, so that can be an issue as well. I hope we'll get the feature someday, but I guess other things like control over fonts, text size, highlighting, etc. (clients vary on their support) would probably be a priority for many people as well. Evernote developers have plenty to keep them busy over the summer

If you use iOS (iPad or iPhone), you can change the accessibility settings so that pressing the Home button three times will reverse colors. This is great for reading at night. It is a global setting that works for all apps.

By the way, for Windows users there is also an application that reverses screen colors, so you can see the notes on black background. Either check the option "Reverse colors" in Windows 7 Magnifying Glass, or use something like NegativeScreen.

A helpful thing that Evernote could do is post a CSS script with styles for the web version of Evernote to have dark background and semi-white text, for both reading and writing. It would be possible to import such script to Greasemonkey and see notes similar to Clearly. (notes which use colorful text would have this switched off).

Add me to those who want background coloring. When I want to highlight stuff now I have to change the color of the font, which doesn't stand out as well, or put asterisks nearby. Background coloring is in lots of programs and shouldn't be that hard for Evernote.

Most of the time, when I pull up a clipping and wish to add to it, there is no way to go to the beginning of the note and insert plain text on a plain white background. Instead, the clipping has a background color that I can't get rid of.

+1 I'd love to have this on the desktop app and the mobile apps. I'm still using MacJournal at the moment, which does allow background and text color changes, so I can do white text on a black background to save my eyes. This missing feature is keeping me from switching completely to Evernote.

Yes, please allow changing the background color of the client applications (Windows Evernote, mobile apps) -- if nothing else, please do this for Accessibility reasons! A current (web) workaround: force the colors your browser shows to display a black background. I keep Chrome, my primary browser, open using normal colors and Firefox open (on my second screen) with the tweaked colors.

Yes, PLEASE. How can we use Evernote for writing (as in books etc.) with a bright white background?!? I'm fed up having to use Word or something equally cluttered and clunky and then paste stuff into Evernote - it's a waste of precious time. On the other hand there is no way I can write at length with a white background - I'd be blind within the month.

Oh no, it is quite easy. In fact, if I remember correctly, I did fiddle around with the .enex file. It's no big deal, and the nice thing is that you get a bit of color coding in your snippet view as well.

Yeah, if you know what .enex is, then you probably have the ability to do this -- and if you are a programmer, you won't even break a sweat. As for a a stand-alone template editor, see It seems to be headed in this direction, though I haven't heard anything from the developer since August.
