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.

To echo Lara Lin, our team is also moving from Trello to Planner and agree as well, it is a big downgrade in functionality. The good news is there is room to grow and change. Microsoft, this is a big UI improvement that should be an easy lift for you to accomplish. Please add the ability to change background color or to use an image file as the background to the plan. This will really help!

Our team is moving from Trello to Planner (thanks, COVID-19), and oof... What an absolute downgrade.

Our organisation is looking to move over from Trello. There is something about Planner that makes it much less appealing to use. Is there a plan for custom backgrounds?

I assumed I was missing something. We are rolling out Office365 and I am moving over my Trello Boards to Planner. Maximum of 6 labels and no formatting customisation is really disappointing. Really basic things for a basic UX. I want Trello back!

How is this not possible yet? :(
I just switched from Trello, but lack of readability is making me want to switch back -

This would be very helpful, just like Trello works.

Planner really needs this feature to appeal to existing Trello users. Either a selectable background colour for the board, or the ability to add a pattern or image would make Planner much more visually appealing to use.

Help me migrate Trello fanatics to Planner please. Custom background per user settings would be ideal. Thank you

Not just background color, but ability to add any image would be appreciated. Just look at Trello. Go for the wow factor.

This would be so much better for working with Planner and concentration on the items. I want to switch from Trello to MS Planner but changing the background so the cards will show up clearly is kind of mandatory for me.

This is pretty much the same function as this one:
https://planner.uservoice.com/forums/330525-microsoft-planner-feedback-forum/suggestions/33145384-add-options-on-how-tasks-are-color-coded-and-shownThey should be combined, as color coding on boards adn schedule views would be a big improvement to the usefulness of the planner.
