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.

Or allow us to turn on shadowing to lift the UI mockup from the background.

I would really like to see this feature implemented sooner! I've noticed people I share the publish links with struggle to separate the UI from the XD publish interface.
Please add this option!

Please allow dark mode on Shared links.

I've probably pushed thousands of users to XD from my youtube channel over the years (DesignCourse), but this is one of those features that has to be implemented in order for me to continue recommending XD.
I was trying to design with a background color that was very similar to the canvas background, and it makes designing very frustrating.

I need this. Stakeholders/clients are getting confused.

When prototype links are viewed by stakeholders on the web, there is a standard off-white background behind the prototype. I'd like to be able to change the background color to match our prototype background, etc.

Yet another obvious feature that will sit in the decade long backlog :/ — and duplicate to this request (https://adobexd.uservoice.com/forums/353007-adobe-xd-feature-requests/suggestions/31055587-background-color-on-fullscreen-prototype-should-be)

I want to use the link to test with people. Here are the problems:
1. Distractions from all the cookie pop-ups and other information, how to exit full screen and what to do. I want to control that so the person exploring can focus on the task at hand.
2. Allow for a custom background around the screens, I don't want it to be white. -

When viewing the presentation in full screen mode, I would like to use a different background color then white. So the edges of de design are visible.
For example when you view a design on a bigger screen than the actual size of the designed screen layout.

Black background on shared link view.

When viewing a prototype with a white background, you can't see the artboard's edges/frame. It makes the prototype loose structure.
Then if i decide to view the prototype in xd app, fonts are unavailable and the prototype looks different.
So, how am I supposed to present my work to concerned parties.Adobe XD has been great but there's too many little but important and critical elements missing.
Some of the complaints I've seen on uservoice have been around for years and nothing has happened.

When sharing on the web, if we have artboards with white backgrounds, there is no visual separation between artboard and background. I suggest making the option for making the background dark, or implementind device frames.

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.
