Web Share: Ability to change background color
The preview link works really well, but it would be helpful if the background colour could be set to a custom colour. The default is white, but it would be handy if you could specify black (or any colour) instead. My reason is that when displaying a mobile screen on various mobile devices for testing, i often get small white stripes at the top and bottom due to variations of screen resolution. If i could set the background colour to black, then the gaps at the top and bottom wouldn't be an issues as the black would blend into a phone's frame.

It's critical to have the background be black (or hopefully customizable) for mobile and tablet designs. If your mockup has a white background, you can't really tell where the screen starts and ends. It makes the designs look like they're just floating. It'd be great if it looked like preview mode in full screen.. it has the black background to isolate the designs.
Check out InVision, they nailed this. And i'm team XD all the way, so it's hard for me to say this.
What would be even better is if the web share could toss a designated device border around the app. -

Some clients doesn't understand where are the screens limits... It would be useful to be able to change the background color !

Yes, actually I have the same problem viewing the mobile prototype in chrome. Black would be perfect to hide where the screen starts

Weird, my default is black. I really want that as white, damn!

My default is black, and rather it be white. Can only assume this has changed at some point since April.

When prototyping for the web and you need to go full screen to get a realistic feel for a web site, it would be better if the background matched the site. I have white wireframes but a background of black. Looks jarring and may effect testing.
