Ability to change background color
I'd like to be able to change the background color - easier to identify what board I'm in + cards would stand out more. Depending on display we use, there is not enough contrast between cards and background, making it hard to see.

Please get me from "enjoy" using Planner to "love" using planner. Let's get this customizable.

White hurts eyes! The white cards blend with background! Microsoft... please... This is easy to do.

Indeed, I'd like to keep Planner open on a 2nd monitor at all times. The white background is very distracting and a "dark mode" would be at least one solution, if not a customizable background and task colors. I'm using Planner like a Trello board, so I'm likely to turn to one or more of these solutions until this is resolved.

Yeah, this is a no brainer. There needs to be background customization. The cards blend into the background with a white on white scenario.

This is a Very very important feature. Within our organization we depend a lot on planner, spending a lot of time in front of Planner UI. The white background is very hard for our eyes.

It's hard to read and looks so plain. And, it just makes the competition (Trello for example) look waaaay better than Planner.

Once this is implemented, it would be great if the Planner integration in Teams also showed the selected background colors!
