How To Change Background Color In Pages Mac

macOS Big Sur brings a lot of exciting customization options into Safari. Now you can alter its looks to suit your working style & liking, from changing the start page background to adjusting favorites, Siri Suggestion, Reading List, iCloud Tabs, etc. Quite like wallpapers, a great background image could help you get into the groove. Apple has very graciously offered some fitting Safari backgrounds, or you can choose a custom one.

Oh yes! Whether a color bomb or something subtle or a family photo, you can set anything as Safari's background, here's how:

How to set custom background in Safari on Mac

Open Safari on your Mac & click on the three-toggle icon from the bottom-right of the home screen.
An icon menu will pop up, scroll through the default background options, or Click on "+" to add a custom one.
Browse through the folders and select the image you want to set as a background in Safari
Click on an image to see a translucent preview of it as the background
Once you have made the choice, click on Choose to confirm.

And that's how easy it is to set a custom wallpaper to Safari start page. While it may seem a small change, but it surely adds character to your Safari.
