How can we make Planner better?

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.

    You may not perceived like this, but this is very much appreciated and in used in so many other applications, temped to mention at leas t five of your competitors.

    Shouldn't be that hard, we should not wait eons for it either ;)

    spending hours a day with this white in our eyes....

    All of us would be very grateful if it is made possible.

    Best regards,
    Pedro

    White on white is not the best UI. At least a shade of gray or pale color would be better. It would be great if we could upload our own images or if you offered similar background images as are available in SharePoint lists.

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

    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.

    How ridiculous to even having to vote for this feature. Are you serious, Microsoft...!?

  • Matthew commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Please let us change the background (for me or for all in task). The white background is ******* the eyes.

  • Ben commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Yes, please let us change the background. The white background is ******* the eyes. At least add a dark mode.
