Adding a dark theme option to all Microsoft apps seems to be a real trend these days.File Explorer,Microsoft To-DoandSticky Notesare three noteworthy examples on Windows 10, and we also learned earlier this week thatOffice for Mac was getting a dark theme optionas well.

As the original piece of feedback highlighted on the Whiteboard’s suggestion portal, a “blackboard” mode really makes sense on the Surface Hub, a device sized like an authentic blackboard. However, more background options will definitely be welcome on all platforms where Microsoft Whiteboard is currently available.
