How to change qlik sense sheet background color?

Ashley33 — Tue, 28 Oct 2025 09:54:06 GMT

Hello,

I would like to change the background color of a qlik sense sheet without using external plugins or css as it is not permitted to edit these files in the company.

Without using external plugins or editing the css file, can you please indicate if it is possible to change the background color of a sheet in qliksense ?

Any help will be much appreciated.

Many thanks in advance.

Hi Ashley

If I'm not wrong you only need to go to Sheet Properties -> Styling and set Background to Custom.

Kind Regards

Daniel

The sheet background color has been around for a while. It was released as a new feature in the Qlil Sense February 2023 release. See: Qlik Sense February 2023 Client-Managed Release - Now Available!

@Ashley33

If you are stuck on a older version, but need a custom background color, then you can consider exploring the custom theme options available for Qlik Sense. When using custom themes then only your css skill level is putting limits on how you style your dashboards.

Hi Ashley

I was not expecting you were using a version so old. Obviously, my recommendation would be to upgrade it in order you can benefit from this and other improvements.

If you decide this path, I strongly suggest to read the following article in order to know how to properly upgrade from an older version to the newer ones.
