How to change the background color of the storyboard in Xcode?

Question

I work with white text (shortcuts) in Xcode, and currently I do not see them, because the storyboard background is also white. How to change the appearance of the storyboard?

To clarify, I do not want my text to change color, I want to change the appearance of the storyboard so that I can develop more easily.

Answer 1

If you are referencing white in your view controller:

• Choose View
• Go to the inspector (right panel, 4th element)
• Change background color (section view)

Answer 2

I am not sure that you can do what you are trying to achieve. My best advice for you is to create a dark UIView color that you can place behind a UILabel . Once you are happy, you have the UILabel setup the way you want, you can simply remove the UIView .

Answer 3

I have a quick trick. Set the “shadow” color on the attribute inspector for the label to black or any of your actual background colors.

This will display the text in the storyboard. Hopefully adding the shadow will not be too expensive for your application, and you can take it later.
