Canvas settings

Settings related to the currently opened canvas can be found by tapping on Canvas on the left panel in the settings menu.

Customize the canvas background

You can change the canvas background to a static color, an image or an animated effect.

Hint

Custom background uses RGB (red, green, blue) color system for displaying a desired color. Red, green, and blue can be combined in various proportions to obtain the desired color.

Backgrounds are canvas-specific, which means each canvas has its own customized background. To modify the background of a canvas, open Settings menu > Canvas > Background
