How to Change Template Background Colors and Images

Accessing Background Settings

To access background options, go into the Slide Options tab in the sidebar, then into the Background sub-section and Source panel.

Alternatively, to jump straight to this location in the timeline Make sure you have scrolled to the top track (named “Slide BG Animation”), then click the folder icon to the right of its name.

Changing Background Color

If the template has a background of the type Colored, you can modify it by clicking the small colored square:

This opens the color selection dialogue box:

Select a new color or gradient, then press the blue tick button to apply.

Changing Background Images

If the template has a background of the type Image, you can modify it by clicking either Media Library to replace with your own image or Object Library in exactly the same way as we have already seen in Editing Images in Template Modules

Note: If you are choosing a background image from the Object Library always choose the original size. This will mean the image is as large as possible ensuring it is big enough to fill the background.
