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?
Tried all three things you guys suggested and in fact I tried the overprint thing prior to asking this question, nothing. Also sorry, when I did "print screen" i just had my artboard zoomed WAYYY out. the white rectangle is the wierdness that wont turn back to the normal background colour. This is really bizarre. When I click on the white space (i understand what you were thinking) and switch it to none, nothing happens. Unlocked all layers just to make sure. Overprint is not on. I am genuinely
...I figured it out immediately after typing this. For future people with issues, first I selected all my artboards and made sure their background was white, and not clear. Then, I had to then changed my "Preferences" > "User Interface" > and chose the "Match User Interface Brightness" option under "Canvas Color:" Then my canvas was medium dark like my interface and my artboards were white. Hope this helps.
Just found this!
The shortcut is: SHIFT + COMMAND + H
or< "view" > "hide artboards" / "view artboards"
What worked for me:
Got to View and choose "View Artboards" or press Shift + CMD + H.
Hope that helped 🙂

The background is stuck on white but only in one file. Tried every thing this topic offered and no help. There must be some kind of active command somewhere but I can't get out of it. It's possible to continue working as before but the white background is annoying.

I did this by mistake. I turned it white without realizing I hist certain commands to turn it on so I had to look it up online and I found this. However, this thred did not help at all. So I furegured that I made a mistake trying to hit the commands I needed.
Command line: Command + Shift + H
it will turn your canvas white or grey. Good Luck!!!

Hi, if your canvas is showing white & you don't want that, follow these steps:
1. Open illustrator & select any file
2. Go to "View Menu"
3. Select option "Show Artboards"
Your issue should be solved.
