I just try to view the result after XAML code in Designer. However, it's hard to recognize the black letters when I use a dark theme in vs2012.
My question is how to change designer background to white color without modifying the dark theme. Seems to change several options in tools?
Thanks

Navigate to the Properties window, and click the Background drop-down arrow, and choose Red or another color in the color picker.
Here's how to change it to a different color theme. On the menu bar, select Tools > Options. In the options list, select Environment > General. In the Color theme list, choose between the default Dark theme, the Blue theme, the Blue (Extra Contrast) theme, and the Light theme.
To open this page, choose the Tools menu and then choose Options. To access the XAML Designer property page, choose the XAML Designer node. Settings for the XAML Designer are applied when you open the document. So, if you make changes to the settings, you need to close and then reopen Visual Studio to see the changes.
To open the XAML Designer, right-click a XAML file in Solution Explorer and choose View Designer. to switch which window appears on top: either the artboard or the XAML editor.
In VS 2013 you can change XAML designer background. Go to:
Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Fonts and Colors In the combobox at the top of the panel, select:
Show settings for: XAML UI Designer Then set:
Item foreground : white Item background : white or very light grey (custom) As of Visual Studio 2017 the XAML designer has a "Toggle artboard background" button, which has the effect of changing the transparent from a black checkerboard to a white checkerboard.
The benefit of this is there is no need to modify your XAML files.
