Changing the desktop color

Premium feature

You can change the color of the desktop, the area surrounding the drawing page in CorelDRAW or the image in Corel PHOTO-PAINT, to suit your documents. For example, if the document contains dark colors, you can change the desktop color from white to gray for lower contrast. To choose the color you want, you can quickly sample any onscreen color; or you can use color sliders, color viewers, or color palettes.
