Changing the background? (Keynote for iPad)

Hi! I can't seem to figure out how to change the slide background/theme for the overall presentation.
Is this feature unavailable on the iPad version?
Thanks!
Chela

The iPad version of Keynote does not have a "background" per se.
What you need to do is place an image or colored shape on a blank slide, size it to fit and then clone the slide by copying that slide and pasting as needed in the Slide Navigator to reuse the background. Not the greatest solution, but Keynote for iOS has its limitations.
If you already have a slide with objects on it, place the image or colored shape on the slide, resize it to fit then, with the object still selected, Format (brush menu) > Arrange > Send to back
Good Luck.

  • I have trouble reading in Black and White. changing the background color for all

    I have trouble reading in Black and White. On my PC I can change the background  color (and I am not just talking about for a word or pages document) but for eveything so anything that was a white background I can put in what ever color I like but it still prints in Black and white.. I can't see how to do this on the Macbook air. on my PC I do this in display. Sort of putting colored film over the screen I dont know what to do. Can anyone help?

    Hello Floridamacbookpro,
    You may be interested in the 'invert colors' Accessibility feature. This can be invoked by pressing the Control, Option, Command, and 8 keys on your keyboard. This only affects your display, and does not have any affect on printed items.
    Mac OS X displays inverted image colors (white on black, reverse type)

  • Change the background color for HToggleButton as State changed

    Hi , I want to change the background color of HToggleButton or HGraphicButton as its state changed as normal to focus and then focus to normal and same with actioned state .It is possible to change the image with different states but how can I do the same thing to change background color .I'll appreciate any help regarding this with thanks in adv.

    Satya,
    i_x denotes first column and not characctersitic 1.
    Also I am not sure if the check is to be for IS_SUM.
    Use Get_Cell_info class instance and then use the data returned by the same for checking IS_SUM and then change the cellstyle.
    Another thing to look out for is , the required change might be needed on DATA_CELL and notcharacteristic_cell.

  • An applescript to change the background color for all finder windows

    I'll start off by telling you what I am trying to achieve, then show you what I've tried.
    I have a macbook with several HDD's attached. what I want is for each of those hdd to have a specific finder window background color. so no matter where I am in that hdd the background color will always be the same. so for instance if I set the background color of hdd 2 to blue then as long as I see a blue background I know that I'm within hdd 2.
    I've tried setting up an applescript to do this but can only get it to change the open finder window, and none of the subfolders have their backgrounds changed.
    here is what I have so far:
    tell application "Finder"
    tell the icon view options of the front Finder window
    set the background color to {52942, 54484, 31097}
    end tell
    end tell
    so how do I get this to apply to all subfolders without opening each one and running the script.
    thanks in advance for any and all help with this

    According to this article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AppleScript/2.1/en/as2039.html
    it seems that the various options can only be set while the window is open and in icon view.
    Rather than manually opening the window of every single folder on the hard drive, it should be possible to write a script to open every folder in sequence, make sure it is in icon view, change its background, then close its window. I have never been any good at the "actions within actions" procedure needed for folders within folders, so maybe someone else with the necessary knowledge and experience might be able to assist in this regard. Such a script would probably take a few minutes to complete while it ran through "every folder of every folder", but it sure would be quicker to have the process automated than to do it by hand - computers are really good at repetitive tasks (as long as the instructions are accurate, of course!).
    On the other hand, you might like to try the following:
    open a few windows in icon view, choose Show View Options in the View menu (I'm in System 10.4), click the radio button All Windows, click the Color radio button under Background, then choose your color. It might achieve what you are trying to do.

  • Is there a way to change the default colors for iPad apps?

    I noticed one of my friends iPad 2 had a different color scheme for apps and I would like to change my iPad 2's default ( which is currently grey). To elaborate, the default color for the borders and tabs in Safari are grey on my iPad, my friends are blue. Would like to change from the drab grey color to blue also but I cannot find a setting for this. All applications and Setup apps have this default color scheme on my ipad. Do I have to reset the iPad and start over with setup to achieve this? Hope not, perhaps someone can shed some light on an easy way to do this. Thank You!

    You can apply  system-wise "negative" color effect under Settings > General > Accessibility, by toggling the White and Black switch - and, in iCab Mobile (and some other, better browsers / PDF readers), its own "night mode" negative color scheme.
    Otherwise, no, you can't do anything else except for asking third party app authors to add selectable back/froeground (=text) colors to their apps.

  • How do I change the background color for the knockout effect in Final Cut Pro?

    One person suggested to me before to change the video player background in the preference section. It did change the color in the preview, but once I export it. It reverts back to its original color.
    I want to change the black background you see in the photo below to a white background. PERMANENTLY (meaning even after I export the video, it remains white)
    It is the knockout effect: the video is playing within the text.
    PLEASE HELP!!! It's has been frustrating me for a long time.

    FRom the Generators browser you put one of the generators underneath the video. You can use the Custom Generator and set the color to white.

    Hi,
    I guess you have to override the stylesheet that is set by the Portal for the Web Dynpro application.
    Have a look at the properties of your WD iView.

  • How do I change the background appearance for the top tool bar, the one with 'file', 'edit', etc.?

    Yesterday, I changed the appearance of the toolbar I have in question, however, I don't like it and want to go back to what I had before. However, I have forgotten how I did it. Please help. thank you.

    Hi and thanks for your help. I tried what you said, and I found out that if I Dis-able the Firefox add-on 'AVG safe search 10.0.0.1423", the problem goes away. However, if I Enable that add-on, the problem returns.
    I think I want to keep that particular add-on, but am not happy with the fact I will then need to click on that arrow I spoke of in order to get to any website (rather than just hitting 'enter" after entering the URL. Any other advice?

  • How do I change the background image for a single tab on the navigation bar

    I'm creating a movie website for TDKR and for the navigation bar, I intend to have a different character for each tab. However, I'm having trouble putting a single image each separate tab. Instead one image appears on each of the tabs. Here's an example of the source and CSS.
    <td width="200"><ul id="navigation"><br />
          <li><a href="../pages/index.html">Home</a></li><br />
          <li><a href="../pages/cast.html">Cast</a></li><br />

          <li><a href="../pages/links.html">Links</a></li><br />
        </ul>
        </td>
    #navigation {
              list-style-type: none;
              padding: 0px;
              margin: 0px;
    #navigation li {
              margin: 0px;

              height: 100px;
              text-decoration: none;
              text-align: center;

    So, how do I put a single image on each tab (home, cast, pictures, etc). Thank you for your help in advance.

    Assign a class to the item and use CSS to apply an image as in
    <li><a href="../pages/index.html" class="home;">Home</a></li><br />
    <li><a href="../pages/cast.html">Cast</a></li><br />
    <li><a href="../pages/pictures.html">Pictures</a></li><br />

    <li><a href="../pages/interview.html">Interviews</a></li><br />
    <li><a href="../pages/links.html">Links</a></li><br />
    and the CSS
    #navigation li a:link.home, #navigation li a:visited.home {
         background-image: url(../Images/gifs/Batman-still-2.gif);

  • How to change the background color for lookup column options in sharepoint 2007

    Hi,
    I have a custom List with 10 fields,and in the edit form we want to display only 6 fields,
    So I have customized it with sharepoint designer 2007 ,designed a new custom edit form(Insert->ShaerPoint Controls->Custom List Form)
    We are using IE8 Browser,and the site has JQuery 1.8 loaded .
    The lookup columns is getting rendered as textbox and dropdown arrow image,instead of select html element.
    When we click on arrow image,its displaying the values magically,So I am unable to highlight the options with text "ABC" in yellow background color
    basically in the input textbox its storing all the lookup values as "ID|value "in choices attribute (I saw this in browser dev tools)
    I tried to set the textbox color everytime it loses focus using blur,however its always returning the previous value instead of current selected value.
    Is there any way we can achieve this,Any solutions/thoughts
    Thanks everyone..

    hi i bet you need to amend your jquery script to get onclick values and put it with like append HTML if you want to use Jquery.
    Also did you know you could use javascript in calculated column with type number?

  • How to change the background color only for one HTML-Portlet?

    Hi all,
    I have created a HTML-Portlet in my root-page. The root page have a style: Main-Style.
    I want to change the background-color only for this one HTML-Portlet:
    <html>
    <header><title>Test</title></header>
    <body bgcolor="#999999">
    Test
    </body>
    </html>
    But this does not work...
    When I use the CSS, then it will change the background-color for the root-page too.

    Leonid Pavlov

    could you try this
    <table bgcolor="#999999">
    <tr>
    <td>
    test
    </td>
    </tr>
    </table>
    I don't think you need <html><header><title>Test</title></header>
    <body></body></html> for your HTML-Portlet.

  • How do I change the background color on pages I try to print or view?

    when I installed/downloaded Mozilla/Firefox originally, I "set" an option that changed the "background" color for certain pages that I download. When I try to print some pages, the entire background (or some blank spaces) is printed in a purple color. (It uses too much ink to print a page.)
    Can't find where I can change the original settings I used and make the background white, or no color at all.

    Specifically to add a background color, no. The only workaround I am aware of is to add a text box to the document format and expand it to cover the entire page. Available colors will be limited, and you may need to experiment with the opacity.

  • How do i change the background theme color in keynote for ios

    Is there a way to change the background color theme in Keynote for iOS? Let's say I start with a Black or White theme, but I want it to be red, consistently on every slide. Is this possible?

    The only option I have found is to create a rectangle and make it the size of the screen. Use the Tools to choose the colour you want and copy and paste it onto every slide. If you are starting with a blank slide, then tap the coloured rectangle and choose Lock to make sure it does not move. Then you can add anything you want in terms of photos, text, charts etc on top. If you have already created your slide, create the coloured rectangle on top of everything else and use the Arrange slider to send it to the back of all your pre-existing stuff on the screen. Hope this helps. Remember you can alter the opacity of your coloured rectangle too. I ave also played around with adding two coloured rectangles on top of each other and adjusting the opacity to get just the shade I want - a bit like mixing paint! You can group them together and then Lock them as the background. :)

  • How Do I Change the Background Color in Keynote?

    Hello! I am trying to change the background color in Keynote, I can see where I should be able to do this, however my computer does not let me. If I change the template (in the Fun template from the standard to the horizontal picture) it will let me change it only in the box rather than the entire template. I really want to keep the style, just not the orange color. Thanks!

    Ruth, the background in Fun is an image, not just a colour. For the templates without photo cutouts, you will need to select the template, go into the Inspector, choose Slide, select the Appearance tab, and then in the background section you can change the image. If you just want to change the colour, you can choose Tinted Image Fill in the dropdown menu, then click the colour box to control the tint.
    Unfortunately, changing the Photo template is much more difficult, since the "background" image is actually a cutout placed on the slide above the actual background. As far as I know, changing this image will require access to fairly sophisticated graphics programs, such as Photoshop. However, if you are using Keynote 3, an alternative would be to create an image mask that is similar in shape to the cutout, as this would produce the same effect (cutouts are not nearly as vital now that images can be masked to a shape).

    How can I change the background of a running webpage on my own. Example Facebook I want to change its background color from white to black just in my view, not for all. Cause I really hate some site with white background because as I read for an hour it aches my eyes but not on those with darker background color.

  • Can I change the background on each page of the iPad?

    I know how to set home screen and lock screen, but was wondering if there is a way to change the background to each page on the iPad. I am a teacher and would like each page to have a background set to a specific picture or word so my students know which page they use on a particular day. Is this possible? If so, can someone walk me through it?

    No - you can only have one background picture which applies to all homescreens
