Feature request

Is your feature request related to a problem?

We have a Windows App with WebView that uses a transparent background in the web part but displays with a dark background on the Windows screen. In session replays, text appears against the default white background of the replay viewer, making it almost unreadable since the text was designed for a dark background.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add a simple option to customize the background color of the session replay viewer.
