Change Photoshop CS5 Standard Screen Mode Color
The default gray color scheme in Photoshop CS5 is one that I have gotten used to over the years, and have not really given much though to changing. But there have certainly been times, particularly when working with images that have a very similar gray background color, where I can see how it would be a distraction. Those are perfect examples of situations where it would be helpful to change the Photoshop CS5 background screen color. Step 1: Launch Adobe Photoshop CS5. Step 2: Click Edit at the top of the window, click Preferences, then click Interface.
Step 3: Click the drop-down menu to the right of Standard Screen Mode, then click Select custom color.
Step 4: Click your desired background screen color, then click the OK button. Step 5: Click the OK button at the top-right corner of the window. The next time you open an image in Photoshop CS5, the background screen behind the image canvas will be the color that you just selected.
