Dark at the edges

Question

I want to make the background a little darker(like a gradient, where the black is at the edges and the white is near the player). I have some parallax backgrounds and i tried to use canvas modulate, but it doesn't work. The light works when i change "layer min" to -1, but i can't achieve what i want without the dark(in the game is night,but not completely black)

Answer 1

What about using a vignette frame? A semi-transparent sprite that is most transparent by your player but gets increasingly opaque towards the edges. Hope this helps.

if i want to have fire flies at the edge(light the moves randomly), will this technique work?

If there are multiple light sources, no. You could add point lights to each entity and modulate the background to be darker though.
