Changing the Background Color on Your Whiteboards

As I have been teaching ActivBoard and SMARTBoard workshops across the region, some of you have expressed a desire to change the background color of your interactive whiteboards to make them easier on the eyes.

To change the background color setting on your ActivBoard:
1. Click on the Main Menu button
2. Select Studio Settings (PC) or Preferences (Mac)
3. Select Flipchart
4. Check the box Replace white surface with the following color:
5. Click on the white box to the right and select a color from the color wheel
This will now be the default color every time you use your ActivBoard.

To change the background color on your SMARTBoard:
1. On the Main Menu, click Format
2. Select Background Color
3. Select a color
This will not change the default color. You will need to change this every time you create a new notebook.

I hope this helps. If you find other tips and tricks, please let me know and I’ll share them with others. Thanks!
