How do I change backgrounds in Microsoft Planner?

I've tried changing the background in Planner, but I don't seem to have any access to that. I see "plan settings" and after I click that, it takes me to "general" where I have no options for background changes, just a white screen. The tutorials that I watch all show different backgrounds that auto populate in the general field. I'm not sure how/where to edit mine if I even have the ability to.

    There is a temporary and technical workaround while waiting for this UI flaw to be fixed. By going to developer tools in your browser (F12), and using the leftmost icon (Inspect, Ctrl+Shift+I) to click an area that highlights the entire background, you can find the code section that says

    element.style {

    }

    and in between, add

    element.style [

    background-color: #ccc;

    }

    to add a light grey color. (This can be changed by clicking the small grey square.

    This will disappear when you reload the page.

    Hi all. The MSFT Planner App, has been updated recently.

    And it seems like now we've lost access to editing our backgrounds.

    Will this feature return at some point?

    You guys totally need to bring backgrounds back. Staring at a white screen is unacceptable.
