Is there any way to change the workspace color in Xara Phot & Graphic Designer 18 from the relatively light layout to a darker one? I note that in Corel Paintshop Pro, you can do this easily.

Hi Adam,
I presume that you mean for the default New US Letter which gives you a white page. Right-click on the page, Page background, Edit page color.
I usually use Blank photo. Same thing, right-click on a blank area, Pasteboard background, Edit pasteboard color.

I think the question is can you make the user interface lighter?
Ctrl + Shift + Alt + S (press in this order)

It looks like he wants it darker not lighter.
Xara's workspace colour is NOT definable.

Gary, I didn't know about this shortcut, never having wanted to change the UI. It looks like a different program with the light interface, similar to Photo Designer 7 that comes with Magix's video programs.Ctrl + Shift + Alt + S (press in this order)
Still not sure that the OP wants, because the default is the dark user interface. That is why I assumed that the OP wanted a darker background.

I guess we won't know until adamgosp responds.

Thank you to everyone who has taken time to reply. Deeply appreciate it. The control/shift/alt/S doesn't do it for me. That appears to be a page option selection.
It IS the overall initial UI that I'm talking about without any pages or images/photos opened. Currently it is light by default but I would like it darker and the ability to change it to one of several background colors including the toolbars too, similar to Corel PaintShop Pro - if some of you are familiar with that program.
It's really not unlike changing Windows 11 Personalisation mode from lighter to Darker mode.
There are basically only two choices for UI color schemes, light and dark.

Xara SHOULD default to the dark colour scheme.
