I created a workflow using an AI prompt and it created my shapes within a rectangle container that has a white/opaque fill. Then I created a second container on the same page, and it is transparent -- I see the gridlines behind all the shapes within the container. How do I set the properties of the second container to match the first one, so that the shapes appear against a white background and the gridlines don’t show?

Background fill for containers using AI

Hi
I wanted to follow up and let you know that I've looked into this further and found a workaround. While my previous post was correct, Lucid AI doesn't currently support directly selecting or changing shape colors. However, you can follow the steps below to set default background colors so the second diagram created matches the first.
1:Use Lucid AI to generate your first diagram.
2: Then locate the Themes option 
located on the side panel.
3: In Themes, you’ll see a section called "Choose a theme". At the top, it shows the current theme (in my example it is Chalk). 
Click on the edit icon next to the theme name to open the Edit Styles view.
4: Once in the Edit Styles view go the Default section, then select the Fill Color you want to use. This will apply to the container background.
5: Once you generate your second diagram, it should automatically use the same background color you selected in Default.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Hi
Lucid AI doesn’t currently support directly selecting or changing shape colors. However, there is a manual workaround using the top toolbar. Here's how:
- Select the container you want to change the color for.
- In the top toolbar, click the fill color icon to choose a new background color. This will update the background color of the selected container.
- You can use the same method to change the color of individual shapes—just select the shape first.
