These properties define how the background of the presentation element will appear.

​
Background Color

  • Use Background Color
    If enabled, the specified color will be used as the background when no presentations are displayed. If presentations are displayed, their background colors will take precedence.

  • Color
    Click the drop-down button to choose a background color. You can select:

    • A solid color
    • A gradient with two or three colors
    • A texture or pattern

    (See “Using the Color Picker” for a full description of options.)

  • No Background Color
    Selecting this option makes the background completely transparent for both the presentation element and any displayed presentations.

​
Remarks

  • When “No Background Color” is selected, the background of the page where the presentation element is placed will always be visible, even when presentations are playing.
  • If a presentation has its own background color, enabling No Background Color will override it.

​
Tip

For a partially transparent effect, set the Color property to a semi-transparent value. This allows the background to remain visible when no presentation is playing, while still showing the background colors of the presentations when they are displayed.
