Hi guys,

Am stepping back into Glide after a few months away - and it is amazinbg how much I’ve forgotten. I know there is a way to change the background color of the dashboard, layout, data and action editor from dark grey back to white. Makes it easier when doing screen captures. Can’t seem to find out how to do it anywhere.

Shoot me now! How do I do it?

Keep safe,  
Russ

Go to your settings then click on appearance and change to the color of your choice.  
For your layout and data editor change your system settings from dark mode to light mode then you will not see the dark grey background.
