Inkscape Tutorials - How To Change The Default Background Color in Inkscape

UPDATE FOR 2023: Inkscape has undergone a lot of changes since this video was uploaded, so I made a newer, more relevant video here: https://youtu.be/0KST7AAyMX4 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-default-background-color-in-inkscape/ Want to learn more about how Inkscape works?
