How to change background of windows phone designer?

I'm developing Windows Phone app in Visual Studio 2013.

By default the phone designer's background is black. It is very hard to design on it if all of my resources (images, font colors, backgrounds) are dark.

Is there any way to change that background to some light color?

It simple First click the Background="{ThemeResource ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush}"> in your xaml.cs page then go to the properties you will see on the top thre is a BRUSH where you can change the color or your back ground and put background Image ..

<Page.Background>
        <ImageBrush Stretch="Fill" ImageSource="Image/Button/yourBgImage.png"/>
    </Page.Background>

In the Device Window (Design -> Device Window menu), you can change the theme from dark to light. This will affect the designer only and will not change your XAML. You can also change the designer accent color and some other properties too.
