Defining the background

Introduction

The "Background properties" dialog allows you to define settings for the background of the slide:

This dialog is called by double-clicking the background zone of a slide, in the timeline.

Same background as preceding object.

If this option is selected, the slide will have no background definition but will use the same background as the previous slide:

If the previous slide does not have a background definition either, the check continues backwards until a slide is found which does have a background definition.
If no previous slide has a background definition, then a black frame will be used.

Select a new background

If this option is selected, the slide will have its own background definition.
In that case, the following zones set properties for the background.

Solid brush	Selects a plain color.
Gradient 2 colors	Selects a gradient of 2 colors
Gradient 3 colors	Selects a gradient of 3 colors
Image from library	Selects a background image from the library
Image disk	Selects an image file. You must provide a filename. Displays the Image framing and correction dialog to regulate framing and image corrections.
