Greetings!

Ok, so my canvas colour is stuck as white.

I already know you an change it via user interface, even when I mess with that and have it checked to match user interface (or whatever), its just stuck as white. When I open a new doccument, its the normal dark grey I enjoy, but for some reason in one file its just stuck as white. Anyone know whats going on?

Got to View and choose "View Artboards"  or press Shift + CMD + H.

 

Hope that helped 🙂

RAR,

What happens if you click somewhere in the whiteness (with Fill in front of Stroke in the Toolbox, and then click the None button?

In other words: are you sure we are not talking about a large white rectangle or something?

What size is your artboard?

What happens when you go to View>Fit Artboard to window?

Sorry almost looks like your artboard is big and your artwork is just small in the middle..?
