How do I turn the page color white in the Classic Text template?

I have a book set up in the format of the Classic Text template in iBooks Author. The pages are light beige in color and I want a white background for each page. How can I get rid of the beige color background on the pages?

Its usually OK to  have objects unlocked, but  it can have unexpected results!   If all  objects  are unlocked, and  when  wanting to delete one - any object  selected  accidentally - will be deleted also... and if its a text box that was not on  view coz you had an image  being moved... you may not notice till it to plate to undo it back in place.
Now that you know how to  remove that background image,  dont forget   you can also  leave it  make it white or any colour or no fill and lock it again. Its also possible to  drop an image into it to use as a background.
The real secret of messing about with template, is the lock / unlock followed by the  abililty in ARRANGE to  move  object above or below each  other in the stack.
Each  image or text box you  open crates its own layer. Imagine a  layer as a sheet of glass if you have a different image on  each... when you  look  you see them all - but if one image overlaps and blanks out another, you can shift it up or down to make everything  OK,   thats layers!
In the template, if you add or change anything you need to check one thing...Open the Inspector, second icon from the left " Layout and Numbering" select Layout - at the bottom is "Layout Object"   if you do not  tick that box,   whatever you changed in the template cannot be edited - conversely, if you  dont want to move it or open it again...  ignore this  check box.
Creating your own  templates with colours and placeholders for text and images is really quite easy...  it  just seems  difficult..  Kids face the same conundrum when they  try to learn how to ride a bike!

  • Firefox crashes when exploring files, arriving at the picture or page I want to view - before I can click, the page goes white and the browser closes.

    Searching for a picture I want to upload to Facebook, directory, then subdirectory, then the item I want to publish. Merely mousing-over the picture filename causes Firefox to turn pale white, and it closes. I haven't even clicked yet. I'm pretty sure it isn't necessarily Firefox, but, instead may be related to Windows Explorer as it does it with Explorer as well as other explorers such as in my HTMLPad software. And - worse - it doesn't happen all the time. Rebooting seems to help, but not every time. It happened 3 minutes ago, and just now I tested it with Firefox and id did NOT crash. But three times in a row, it did.

  • How to change the page color from white to gray in Indesign?

    While working on a document, the white pages (not pasteboard) appears too much bright to eyes. Is there any way to change the pages color from white to medium gray at display level only i.e. that gray should not appear while printing the document pages?
    Thanks,

    You haven't told us what version of InDesign or what operating system.
    If you have InDesign CC, you can change the color of the panels (Preferences > Interface). If you turn on Match Pasteboard Color in the same preference, you can make the pasteboard darker.
    However, to change the color of the page, you need to change your monitor brightness. On a Mac, that would be System Preferences > Displays and drag the brightness slider to the left.

  • How can I convert a pages color document to a PDF Black and White doc.

    How can I convert a pages color document to a PDF Black and White doc.  Or, covert the color to B&W in a new doc?

    > How can I convert a pages color document to a PDF Black and White doc.  Or, covert the color to B&W in a new doc?
    The general idea is that you colour correct photographs once, archive, and convert with or without colour changes. The archived photograph is unchanged - or we would be colour correcting the same photographs again and again and again.
    If you have a photograph with a corrected exposure, you can open the photograph in the Apple ColorSync Utility, apply a colour space conversion to a grayscale appearance using the preinstalled ICC profile, save the photograph under another name, and place that in your pagination.
    If you have a paginated document with corrected exposures, and any such non-scalable bitmap or scalable spline graphics as you have chosen to add, you can render the pagination as a whole to PDF through the same ICC profile, carrying out the same colour space conversion on any and all objects.
    Caveat: If you intend the pagination for certain processes, in particular offset lithography, then you are probably  expected not to render the type to grayscale, but rather to render it to single ink solid black. No software can determine what printing process you intend, you have to understand a bit about printing, and how to set up general colour space conversions in software. Ask your prepress provider, and if the answer is not prompt and proficient, pick another provider.

    How can I select and delete the fill color (white background) of a live trace (B&W) with in an action set?
    Illustrator CS4 in windows XP.

    Maybe Li[ve trace] is not t]he way[ to go
    I have some suggestion one leave it as is and use a blending mode of multiply to give it a color background like this
    leave it as is make it a grayscale tiff import int Illustrator and color it it in Illustrator like this
    Or trace over it with the brush tool aand then give it a color ground.
    Or do the original over and do a cleaner job with no tone or a minimum of tone. Then Live trace.

  • How do you change the page number position on the page and size?

    I am having difficulty changing the size/color/position of the page number in the book?  Does anyone know how to do this?
    thanx. 

    Yes, you can change the position. Do it in Master Layouts. Select the page number - a red box appears around it - select: left, center, or right justification. That will move it within the box. To move the box on the page, just drag the box to where you want it. - Fabe

  • How do you change the background color not of the video clip, but the background the clip is on?

    How do you change the background color upon which the clip resides...
    I don't want to change anything within the clip itself, but the matte(?)
    from black to white or cream.
    I am working with Elements 10...

    Create a color matte of the desired color and place it on video track 1.  Then place your video on track 2.
    from here: Adobe Premiere Elements Help | Creating specialty clips
    Create a colored matte for a background
    You can create a clip consisting of a full‑frame matte of solid color, which you can use as a solid background for titles or animated clips.
    Brightly colored mattes can serve as temporary backgrounds to help you see transparency more clearly while you adjust a key effect.
    Click Project Assets. 
    In the Project Assets panel, click New Item from the panel options and choose Color Matte. 
    Choose a color in the Adobe Color Picker dialog box, and click OK. 
    A color matte clip is placed into both the Project Assets panel and the Expert view timeline.

  • Creating an Aperture web page from photos the page goes white and nothing displays. Is this a RAM issue?

    I have just purchased an iMac 27" 2.7GHZ running OSX 10.7.4 with 4GB RAM (16 GB has been ordered). I am using Aperture 3.3.2. When I attempt to create a web page from photos the page goes white and nothing displays. Is this a RAM issue?

    I have resolved the issue....turns out that, in my case, running OSX 10.8.1 with Aperture 3.3.2 was what was required! I was running Aperture 3.3.2 with OSX 10.7.x and had this issue.
    I hope this helps someone else as well.

  • Is there a way to switch back to the old color scheme for the keypad? The new black-on-white color scheme is more difficult to see and use for the visually impaired.

    Is there a way to switch back to the old color scheme for the keypad? After upgrading to ios 6, the keypad switched to a black-on-white color scheme.  I have a severe visual impairment and found the previous white-on-black color scheme much easier to see and use. 
    The inverted colors option doesn’t make things look all that better.    My dad, who does not have any serious vision problems, has put off upgrading his iphone because of the color scheme changes.    

    I have exactly the same concern. It seems it would be a simple fix for Apple to allow users to turn off the camera (and even the mic) while keeping FaceTime open -- especially now that it turns out FaceTime must remain open in order to send and receive iPhone calls on a Mac.
    I like to think this new functionality of FaceTime will be baked into a future release of Yosemite, as the current setup has that not-quite-finished feel of a work in progress. In the meantime, there's nothing like a little piece of Post-It stuck over the camera to keep the NSA from watching your face as you type a post to the Apple Support Communities.

  • How do you turn off Auto-Sync without connecting  the ipod  to PC?

    My Purchased Tracks was deleted off my computer, but I still have all of them on my ipod. I have iTunes 7, so I am aware I can transfer all my purchased music from my ipod to itunes. But I know auto-sync is set up, so when I connect it to my computer, won't it automatically sync itunes with my ipod and therefore delete my purchased music on my ipod? Can I turn off auto-sync without connecting my ipod?

    A couple of ways...
    Hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys when you plug in the iPod. (For a PC)
    Or...
    Connect your iPod, but before it starts to sync, click that little X on the right hand side of the ITunes display at the top of the page. (Next to the "Do Not Disconnect" message.)
    Then click box at bottom that says manually manage music.

  • How can I quickly toggle page colors if I update from 36.0.4?

    In 36.0.4, I use an add-on that's on my toolbar to toggle page colors between the page colors and my personal default colors. This is something I do very frequently. When I updated to version 37.0.1 or 2, I can't use this anymore and can't find an add-on that works. This is important enough to me to stay with 36.0.4.

    The pref that controls this setting used to be a Boolean, but is now an Integer as you can see in Options/Preferences.
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors
    *browser.display.document_color_use<br />Override the colors specified by the page with my selections above:<br />0:Only with High Contrast themes; 1:Never; 2:Always
    *browser.display.use_system_colors
    Extensions would need an update to continue to work.
    You could look at the PrefBar extension and create a button to toggle document colors.

  • How can I add a dip to white at the beginning of a clip?

    How can I add a dip to white at the beginning of a clip?  I know where to find it on Pr, but I'm new to AE.  I have 2 clips that need to transition one to the other.  The first clip ends by dipping to white; therefore, I need to either dip to white at the beginning of the 2nd clip & line them up so they overlap well, OR I need to find a white transition to place between them like in Pr.

    Make a whote solid.  Animate its opacity from 0 to 100 and back again.
    You'll use couple-three layers -- no automatic transitions in AE.  That's what Premiere's for.

  • How do i turn my iphone back on after the latest update?

    I just updated my IPhone 4 to its latest version. I am not sure what the numbers are cause I forgot, but my phone hasn't been able to turn on for almost 3 days now. When I press the power button the Apple logo pops up and then the cord charger pops up after. Instead of showing the battery like it is charging it is showing the iTunes app. I am not sure what this means. How do I turn my phone back on?

    The iTunes icon and cable means that the phone has gone into recovery mode (e.g. If you can't update or restore your iOS device)
    You will need to connect the phone to your computer's iTunes and you should then be able to reset the phone back to factory defaults, and you can then restore/resync your content to it.
