Hey there, We noticed that since a while, we don’t get to see the background image in full screen mode (TAX + X) anymore. Usually we wouldn’t really care, but we use that mode to focus on a single task, but somehow we can’t get used to it… However we still see it the background image in board vie…

We found the root to this: When you enter full screen mode, an element called “FocusModePage” has a “background-color” Style, which puts a layer of color on top of the background image. If you deactivate/remove it, it’ll show the background like before again. Not sure if this is intended or just a…

@Marcus2 and @Marie , I can confirm that I see the same thing. (I’m using the sidebar Alpha test if that’s relevant.) I concur with @Bastien_Siebman : The background feature is being deprecated, at least for new users, and that may explain focus view as well. Larry

Hi Larry, thanks for your reply. Not sure what the sidebar Alpha test is tbh… Do you know how “new users” are defined? Best

@Marcus2 , “New users”: Not completely sure. It might mean that users at new organizations/workspaces to Asana won’t see the background settings, or perhaps just any new users to existing organizations/workspaces; not sure. Asana is running a limited-access test of a new version of the sidebar, but…

It is either a bug or it is being effectively removed for everyone. @Marie could you help?
