Changing the Color of your Pasteboard

September 8, 2009 by Corey Barker Tip of the Day 1 Comment

Ever get tired of the gray pasteboard?  Here’s how you can change it: Select the Paint Bucket tool (G) from the Toolbox (it’s nested beneath the Gradient tool).  Select a new foreground color.  Press-and-hold the Shift key, click on the pasteboard, and it will change to your Foreground color.  Done!
