Does anyone know how to change the background color in full mode? (ie press 'f' once and you can go into a mode that lets you drag the art-board around [has a gray bg] rather than being limited, once more and it puts you in preview mode with a black bg., a third takes you back to regular)

i must have mashed some keys and now instead of the normal gray bg it is black just like the preview mode, it's harder to work in when black because it messes up color perception.

anyways, if someone knows the trick to set it back to normal i would appreciate it. I have already tried setting workspace to default but that is just the panel setup not the actual background.

use your paint bucket tool with your selected colour and hold down shift-and mouse left click on the canvas (outside of your document to give the background that colour.

ps: moving this to dd forum.

much appreciated soulty, sorry about wrong forum.

i think it happened while using my tablet... the quick keys are handy unless you forget which one is bound to what.

dang it, soulty beat me to it. Yeah, the first time I was using PS, I did that and freaked out - so I just hit every single key on my keyboard until it worked.
