Dark padded background for screen recordings — Limelight 1.3.4

One click sets a deep dark canvas behind the captured window — great for dark-mode content.

The dark background option gives recordings of code editors, terminals, and dark-mode apps the aesthetic they deserve. A deep, near-black canvas frames the window cleanly without the clinical look of white.

Select Dark in the background picker before recording or at export. The shade is chosen to contrast well with both light and dark window chrome, so the app window always stands out.

Dark background is especially popular with developer tutorial creators and anyone recording VS Code, Xcode, or Terminal — environments where a white background would clash with the content.

What's new

  • Built-in dark canvas — no Photoshop needed
  • Complements dark-mode apps and code editors
