UPDATE FOR 2023: Inkscape has undergone a lot of changes since this video was uploaded, so I made a newer, more relevant video here: • Change The Background Color In Inkscape
In this tutorial I’ll be demonstrating how to change the default background color in Inkscape so that you can have a dark background (like Illustrator) or any other color you’d like! I’ll also be demonstrating how to save your chosen background color as a default so that you can work with it every time you launch Inkscape.
This is something that I’ve been asked about a lot, especially by those of you who are switching over to Inkscape from Illustrator and find the glaring white canvas of Inkscape to be somewhat of a nuisance when you’re working. Today we are going to fix that!
If you'd rather just use my template instead of setting this up yourself, you can download a free copy of it here: https://logosbynick.com/change-defaul...
