# Background color properties

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.
