SwiftUI: How to change default background color

I'm wondering how to change the default system background color given to iOS apps. For example, when you create a blank XCode project, the canvas is, by default, white. Is there a way to change this default color, without creating a separate background view?

You cannot modify it directly systemBackground because it is declared as a read-only class property. But it is declared as open though, so you can do something like:

class MyColor: UIColor {

    override class var systemBackground: UIColor {
        return .systemRed
    }

}

And use it like MyColor.systemBackground.

I find this approach unnecessary though, I would just recommend creating your own utility/helper class to define your own color palette and avoid inheriting from UIColor.
