Colour of pages background

Any chance that anyone might know how to change the background colour of Pages. So instead of white it could be green, or lilac etc. and not just the text area, the whole area.
Just a thought.

  • Browser background colour and page background colour

    On one entry page of my blog, the browser background colour is over-riding the page background gradient colours. I've tried remaking the entry page by duplicating another entry page, but this still happens on just this one page.
    Hoping someone will be able to work out why...?

    Thank you. It's http://www.noteworthy-women.co.uk/
    The page in question is the 29 September entry for the blog page ('rehearsal notes'). This was on the 'Choir Members Only' site, but I've moved it to the 'public pages' site for this discussion. I can leave it there only overnight (British time).
    Thanks again.

  • Setting a page background colour

    Hi everyone,
    Im new to InDesign, and am (or at least i thought i was), in the final stages of completing a brochure (A4 landscape format) for my photography business.
    The brochure Im creating is intended as both a downloadable pdf and also for viewing on screen.
    My issue is this:
    Ive somehow managed to set it up so that the page background colour is black, which is what I want, as my text alternates between white and a shade of grey.
    However, when I PDF this document, or try to physically print it, the pages show up as white, and so a lot of my white text does not show and the grey text looks almost invisible.
    Can someone please enlighten me as to how I actually achieve what i would like to - i.e. black pages.
    Many, many thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your reply.
    I figured that would be the way to go. Though I'm getting a glitch when using image gallery widgets where the background colour flashes white when zooming on an image on the final ipad book. The background fade effect when zooming is set by default to start from white I presume. Hope they fix that soon.

  • Setting page background colour

    When setting page background colour I am currently using the shapes tool to create a colour rectangle to place in the background.
    Are there any other ways to set page background colour, say to set a book wide preference for page colour, or any alternative method at all?

    Thanks for your reply.

  • Black page background flashes grey when zooming on images

    When I'm previewing my book on iPad I see that when I zoom in on an image (single image gallery widget) the page background which is black flashes grey momentarily. This happens on ipad but not when I preview on the mac.
    Seems like the page wants to revert to the default white background everytime I click an image widget. Any way to set a book wide black background color? I currently create the page background colour by placing a black rectangle object in the background.
    Thanks anyone for any tips!

    It seems there's a default setting when zooming on images that fades the background from white to black (I guess Apple is presuming all pages are white)? Anyone who have pages with colour background notice this?

  • Change of page colour in pages

    i am using pages to create posters. it provide me options to impose my image on page from my media. but i want to change the colour of page only not imposing any image. plz help, thnx in advance.

    Harry,
    Short answer: No - either a shape or some other media - when placed using the Document Setup options, the color shape is placed in the background of all other objects (it becomes the page color) anything placed on the page in the normal Edit Mode will be on top of the background and not hidden.
    See attached images - I placed a shape on part of the document to show the original and added color - if you stretch the shape to cover the page, the entire page will take on the color of the shape:
    Try it.

    Hi! Just learned how to change the colour of the background  to make it more friendly to the eye and want to share it with you)
    1) Open Adobe Reader. Go to Edit - Preferences - Accessibility.
    2) Make sure the "Replace Document Colors" is checked and click on Custom Color.
    3) Click "Page Background" color and then select "other color." Here's my custom neutral color settings:

    You can also do the same for any of your favorite word processor applications. It will make writing and reading easier on the eyes!

  • Is printing background colours webpages, printing background colours is disabled firefox 5

    Firefox 5,prints page background colours even though printing background colours is disabled in page setup.

    More to the point on this, I think, is that both RGB and CMYK values listed for any spot color are "best approximations" (many, perhaps most, spot colors have no good CMYK equivalent, and that would be true as well for some subset using RGB) using Pantone's unknown color space. Even in that space the probability of getting an actual match between the simulation and the true spot ink is close to zero. Using some other space makes things worse, and since there is no way to know the sapce in use at Pantone, you're kind of up the creek.
    For CMYK converison you can do reasonably well by using the Ink manager to convert the spot to process and check the bok to Use Lab Values at the same time. For RGB, I have no idea how to come close, at all.

  • Why does my book page background disappear?

    I have created many books in Aperture, usually using custom layouts, so I can export as a PDF to print with Blurb.
    Recently, a few of my books suffered a glitch.
    I had set the page background (mostly) to Black.
    When I went back to the book, I found that it had been replaced by White (or No Background)
    Now the background drop-down menu, instead of providing colours, says only Item1 or Bkgd2.
    Both are greyed out anyway, so I can't change them.
    Duplicating the book does not help.
    So the only option is to recreate the entire book, or export to Jpegs and chand All of the pages in photoshop.
    Anyone have any ideas??
    best regards
    Adrian

    Thanks for replying, Leonie, but I'm afraid it hasn't solved it.
    They were created with the latest version, 3.4.5.
    And because the layout is a custom one (12x12") there is no original theme.
    I first noticed the phenomenon when I transferred a project to a laptop from the iMac.
    But it has happened three times since, seemingly at random.

  • How to create a full page background image that is fluid?

    I'm creating a website for my portfolio, and one of the things I wanted to have is a full page background image that the div tags are in.  I know there is a way to put it in via page properties, but that doesn't allow you to add CSS styles and I want the image to re-size with window changes.  This requires putting the image in a div tag, but then it pushes the other div tags (such as my header section and navigation) so that they aren't over the image like I want.  Is there a way to push the image div tag to the back so that the other div tags go over it.
    I'm using HTML5, and it will also be a responsive design, but the fluid background is only for desktops.
    I don't go on the adobe website often, so if you have an answer to this, or need more information to figure it out please email me at [email protected] and you'll get a faster reply than on this forum.
    Thank you everyone for your help.

    You should set this forum to email you on a reply.
    I don't have a link in your question to determine how you are trying to do this, but here's a technique I have used:
    Take a look at this website and see if it doesn't have what you are trying to do. You'll see the flag in the background and I have used opacity in the layers on top of it to keep the flag somewhat visible.
    Now, what the flag does not do is re-size itself with the viewport (the browser window). But the flag is in a div that sits on top of the body. My code is accessible, but you're looking for the flag div and it's defined in CSS thusly:
    #flag {
              width: 100%;
              background-image: url("../images/polish-flag.png");
              background-repeat: no-repeat;
              min-height: 900px;
    Now, CSS3 adds a new attribute you can apply to the background image thusly:
         background-size: 100% 100%;
    That would make your background fill the viewport.
    I chose to not do that, because I was worried about versions of Internet Exploder before 10.

  • Page background disappears for a moment on page turn in pdf

    In indesign my document has a gradient page background (created in indesign) on the master page to make it look like a book. But when the page is turned in pdf, the background disappears for a moment, leaving the page white, then the background appears again; it does this nearly every time page is turned, flashing white. Does this have to do with pdf or indesign layers? I have only 1 layer in the indesign document, and transparency blend space is set to rgb.

    Everytime you change the page Acrobat needs to redraw all of the page elements. The dealy is probably a reflection of the amount off video memory available, as much as anything.

  • Full Page Background in Internet Explorer 8 and Below

    I am currently trying to achieve a full page background image using the method found here: http://cookbooks.adobe.com/post_Scale_Background_image_to_browser_size-17590.html
    Everything works fine in FF, Chrome, and Safari, but when I preview the page in IE 8, the image shows up as being centered in the page and does not stretch to fill the whole browser.
    You can see this here: www.virtualeconomyonline.com
    Here is the CSS:
    html {
         background: #F4EEFE url(../images/grass.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
         -webkit-background-size: cover;
         -moz-background-size: cover;
         -o-background-size: cover;
         background-size: cover;
         overflow: auto;
    body {
         -ms-filter:"progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='../images/grass.jpg', sizingMethod='scale')";
         filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='../images/grass.jpg', sizingMethod='scale');
    Does anyone have any ideas why it might not be filling the whole browser in IE 8 and under?

    Hi
    As the tutorial says, don't apply this to the html tag, (there is no reason to apply anything to the html tag any more).
    Move all the css that you have to the body tag css.

  • What's the best way to save an 8.5 x 11 image for use as a page background in a PDF?

    What's the best way to save an 8.5 x 11 image for use as a page background in a PDF? My goal is to have a relatively small final .pdf file size that includes numerous pages with full 8.5 x 11 images as backgrounds in the document. If I save at 8.5 x 11 and 72dpi (example), the image is not 8.5 x 11, and the quality is not good enough. I need help with size, dpi, and file format to save as before I place it in InDesign and then save as a .pdf.
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Do exactly what I said then.  Create the InDesign document of the required dimension, and chose whether it will be high quality print, or Interactive PDF.  It really doesn't mater what format you bring the image into that document.  It can be JPG, PNG, but I usually use native Photoshop PSD.  The image does have to be of high enough resolution, but it can be many times bigger than iis required for the final export.  (InDesign does not import the image, but rather references it on your hard drive.)
    When you have placed your text and finished your page, then export it to PDF, but go through the tabs chosing suitable settings.  If the image needs to be downsized, InDesign will do that at this stage while building the PDF.
    If you can tell us how this presentation will be made (Projector, overhead projector, printed page etc. or just emailed to the end users) we can help you more with the final output settings.

  • Ibooks author, how do I get the standard book pages background into my document. I have published one book so far which does not display with a book pages background or options for font size.

    ibooks author, how do I get the standard book pages background into my document. I have published one book so far which does not display with a book pages background or options for font size.

    No on the book title, no problem there.
    The issue is: my book pages appear as on white paper, no background that resembles a open book and also no option to change fonts. The book was created in iBooks author, there was a problem going with the "Publish" menu route so I was instructed my Apple to "export" the file and submit that. I think that's the problem after reading that iBooks author is a hybrid epub file.
    Thanks for getting back to me.
