Change the background in Sandbox

There are two different "backgrounds" you can change within Sandbox:

  • The wallpaper of the entire screen
  • The background on each card you create

Change the wallpaper

To change the wallpaper, click on the Settings cog icon (⚙️) at the top of your screen. This opens the Settings menu.

Under 'Appearance,' click Wallpaper and peruse through all of the options! Choose from solid colors, gradients or even upload your own. Don't forget to hit Save!

Change the card background

Now that we have our Wallpaper picked out, it's time to change the background on our cards!

On the left-hand side of the screen you will see a list of the cards you have created. To change the background, click on the vertical three-dot ellipsis button (...) next to the card you want to edit and click Change background.

As you click on each background, you can see it change in real time on the card! You can choose from the list of provided backgrounds or upload your own. Get creative!

Below is an example of the Venn diagram background to show the differences and similarities between a trombone and a ukulele. Learning just became a lot more fun!

FAQs

The background on my canvas isn't showing a preview in real time. What am I doing wrong?
Make sure to click on the card you want to edit first so that it displays on the screen. Once it is visible, click the three-dot ellipsis button (...) next to that card and Change background. You should now see the preview in real time.
