Background Design Tips

Your screenshot background sets the tone for your entire app listing. Here's how to get it right:

•Use high-contrast backgrounds: your device frame and caption should stand out clearly
•Match background color to your app brand: consistency builds recognition
•Gradients add depth without distraction: use 2-3 color stops for subtle effects
•Image backgrounds work for lifestyle apps: show context without overpowering the UI
•Keep backgrounds consistent across the screenshot set: don't change styles mid-set
•Dark backgrounds work well for gaming, finance, and creative apps
•Light backgrounds work well for productivity, education, and health apps
•Test at thumbnail size: subtle patterns may look noisy when shrunk
