For some reason my screen is extremely dark, and I can barely see any text or icons in front of the background. Is there a way to fix this? I've tried restarting my browser and I looked through the Canvas settings but nothing works. It seems to only happen on the Chrome browser of my desktop.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @ReidShniderman ...
That looks quite strange! I see you have several add-ins / plug-ins installed (as shown at the top right corner of your browser). Would any of those alter the way your content displays on your browser? Is it only Canvas that is showing such a dark screen? For example, if you go to a non-Canvas site such as Yahoo.com, MSN.com, or BestBuy.com, do those sites appear dark, too? Also, have you reached out to Canvas Support to see if they have any suggestions for you? How do I contact Canvas Support? - Instructure Community
Please keep us posted...thanks!
