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.

2024-10-22T11:18:23+00:00 Same issue, after the update no ability to modify backgrounds. Also is there a dark mode option? I haven't been able to find that setting either.

2024-10-23T13:52:52+00:00 This makes me so angry. As of this morning I have a black background with no ability to change it back to white, the options to change this are gone. I cannot believe there is no way to change it to any other background anymore. Sometimes some people like a black background for certain things, other times not so much. This is absolutely unacceptable and it makes me wonder if this goes against accessibility standards.
