I found how to do it, in the preferences -> display -> checkstyle-> whiteonly, but I don't see a delete post button here

then you have to carefully match it up to the checked background by dragging it back.


Why don't you just use Ctrl-Z to undo the move? AFAIK a 'lock layer position' is in the works.

This isn't what you are looking for... It just makes the bottom of the canvas white so that you don't see that your background has moved....

Use move active layer. There is even a toggle, hold the shift key down when using the move tool. Just make sure you are on the correct layer.

If you want to delete a post because you have found your answer - you can! If no one has replied to it!
Otherwise just go to the beginning post and put next to the title - [solved]
