customizing my canvas 🩰💕✨
One of the things that I always talk about is trying to make the aspects of school that you can find!! With that being customizing your canvas, getting cute school supplies, dressing a little bit cuter r for class, going to a coffee shop things like that!!!
So this is the easy way that I found to customize my canvas dashboard. I unfortunately don’t have the aesthetic touch sometimes naturally so finding a custom palette that already matches my aesthetic is the best way to customize the dashboard and it’s so easy!!!
The last thing I’ll say is that I know some people use different extensions to customize their canvas so if any of you guys use those and I’ve had a good experience let me know because right now. I’m just a little bit nervous about doing something like that since it also tracks your assignments and I don’t want it to flag anything or potentially be an issue with how important canvas is to courses.

It's so true how a little personalization can make a big difference, especially when it comes to something we use every single day like our Canvas dashboard! While my original post showed my go-to easy trick for a cute color palette makeover, there's even more you can do to truly 'decorate' your Canvas and make it feel uniquely yours. Beyond just picking vibrant colors, consider giving each course card a custom image or banner. Instead of the default generic image, you can upload a relevant photo – maybe a picture related to the course subject, a motivational quote, or even just a pretty, aesthetic background that matches your chosen color scheme. Think about it: when you log in, seeing a visually appealing snapshot for each class can instantly boost your mood and help you navigate quicker. You can find tons of free stock photos or design simple banners using tools like Canva. Just make sure the image isn't too busy and still allows the course title to be easily readable! Another fun, subtle way to decorate is by adding emojis or simple icons to your course titles or announcements. While Canvas doesn't always support complex formatting, a well-placed emoji can add a pop of personality. For instance, a 📚 for literature, a 🔬 for biology, or a 🎨 for an art class. It's a small detail, but these little visual cues can make your dashboard feel more inviting and less like a dry list of tasks. Speaking of organization, that's decoration in itself! A clutter-free, well-structured dashboard is beautiful. Consider archiving old courses you're no longer taking. You can also reorder your course cards to prioritize your most active or demanding classes. Sometimes, making things easier to find is the best kind of 'decoration.' Now, about those third-party extensions I mentioned in my original post – I totally get the nervousness! It's super important to be cautious since Canvas handles so much crucial academic info. My advice: if you're considering a browser extension to customize Canvas, do your homework! Look for extensions with high ratings, lots of reviews, and check if they are actively maintained. Reputable ones usually have clear privacy policies. If you're still unsure, stick to Canvas's built-in customization options, like changing course card colors with hex codes. The color-hex website, like where I found my 'Princess Aurora - Pink Color Palette,' is a fantastic resource for finding specific hex codes to paste directly into Canvas's color settings. It's safe, simple, and gives you complete control over your aesthetic. Ultimately, decorating your Canvas dashboard is all about making your academic journey a little brighter and more personal. It's a small act of self-care that can make a big difference in your daily routine. So go ahead, experiment with colors, images, and organization – make your digital learning space a place you genuinely enjoy being!
