P: Ability to change the interface background color

I would love to be able to change the background color of the Lightroom Mobile interface while I'm editing an image. Working freelance and traveling a lot and commuting, I use my iPad a lot to make adjustments so I can save time. Several of my jobs have required me to have backgrounds close to white but without being white (specifically e-commerce photos). Even though I'm using the clipping mask to see my white and black points, it would still be nice to have a white background during those projects to make sure I don't make my models look like they're floating in the middle of nowhere. It would be one more step I could get done before even getting to the studio! Thanks!

    I was looking for how to change the background on the lightroom app on iOS. I would like to change it like I do on photoshop. I am amazed the first time it was asked was almost 9 years ago, and it's still not available. 😳

      I appreciate some of the additions made to Lightroom CC but one of the biggest changes that needs to implemented is the ability to change the color theme.

      Every other app, changes can be made to the appearance; however with Lightroom CC, that option does not exist. What gives? I know this would be very simple to implement. Please consider making this addition.

      I would love to have the option to change background colour to white when editing photos in Lightroom for iPad. It would be much nicer since I always add white borders.

      This was released for desktop but remains an open request for Mobile. 

      Looks like no one marked it released....

        @Victoria Bampton LR Queen Haha, funny that (as far as it seems) all the people in this thread including myself haven't discovered the feature in the past two years. So thanks again for letting us know 🙂

        @Tristan Hess 2022ish, I believe, maybe earlier. It's been a while, but it's not very discoverable.

        Wow, thank you very much Victoria! That is great news indeed. I just tried it and am very happy this finally got implemented. Do you know for how long the feature has been available?

        Hi @handandfire, I have some good news for you...  while the background options are not changeable on mobile, the background around the photo can be changed on your Mac. Go into Detail view (single-image) and right-click the area around the photo. Then, you get the same options that are available in Classic.
