Master slide background color

When I select the master slide on the far left (the slightly bigger one), and I deselect "project background" and change the "stage:" to a different color, nothing happens.  I am trying to use the solid color (paint can) and I put in my choice of Hex color (005983).  When I try the same thing on the individual master slides to the right, I also get nothing.  I even changed the Edit>Preferences>Defaults>Background color to the same color.  And I get nothing.
I can (and have) put other things (logo, color bar) on the Master slide, and it propigates to the right on the other slides.  What am I missing? 

There are objects on the main master slide, they are not merged into the background. Yes, you can set the stage color for a normal slide as well:
What do you really want to achieve with selecting a blue color for the main master slide? It will not show up because you have objects on that slide that cover the stage color.
I know, documentation is not very helpful. I have been writing a lot about Captivate to provide some clues, but not about master slides. It is a lot of work to write out documentation and I'm offering everything for free. Same with answers here, where Rod and Rick are also spending many hours trying to provide answers.
Depending on the theme you started with, there can be a project background. You used the white theme. That background will always show up on the main master slide, even when you uncheck Project background. If you want not to see that Project background on a normal slide, but a full blue color, you have to unselect Use Master Slide Background, then unselect Project Background (is dimmed as long as you use Master Slide Background) and then you can use a stage color. Those settings I show in the screenshot.

  • TOC tab pushing down master slide background

    Why is this happening? It only occurs on three new slides and it pushes down the master slide (background only, not content)

    I am using Captivate 7. Here are two screen shots; one that is displayed correctly and one that pushes the master slide down, but leaves the content in place.

  • Adjusting Image Used for Master Slide Background

    I'd like to use a jpeg of mine as the master slide background in a Keynote doc. But I'd like to be able to adjust that image (e.g., making it brighter or less opaque) so that text is clearly visible on it. I know that in the Inspector there are ample ways to adjust the qualities of an image inserted into a slide, but I have not found any way to do with images that are slide backgrounds (or the slide master).
    Does anyone know a way? Thanks.

  • How to retain the master slide background at the end of the quiz reporting page of a project

    I have noticed that the content of the master slide is not retained till the end in the quiz results page of the project. What should I do to retain the contents till the end of the project?

    Hi,
    Thanks for your time. I have checked the transitions. i didnt give any transition to the slides in the project and i also check the preferences too, i had disable the options that is to fade in and fade out. My problem is "I have 12 slides in this with an intro slide and 10 question slides and then the quiz results page. In that result page, it is showing the result at the end of the result slide the pause button in the skin turned to play button. While clicking that play button it shows only the results, review quiz button and retake quiz button only. It doesn't display the images, widgets, text and some other options which is used in master slide or in the slide itself " Why those things have disappeared? Can you guide me how to overcome this issue.
    The solution for the playbar is quiet good. One more doubt in that, The play bar should be displayed in that page but it should be disabled, Is there any solution for this? If yes, kindly share with me

  • Master Slides image sitting on top of recorded slide image.

    When I record slides the only image that appears on the slide are the mouse movements and the Master Slide image.  It looks like the Master Slide image is "sitting on top" of the recorded image.  The recorded images are listed in the Library as Backgrounds.  Any ideas?  Thanks in advance.

    Look in the Properties tab > General accordion to see if Use Master Slide Background is selected.

  • Master slide color change?

    I'm changing the background color of a Theme, but would like that color change to apply to all master slides. I've changed one of the master slides in the theme I chose, but don't know how to apply this same color change to all of the master slides for this theme. I shouldn't have to change each master slide, right? I should be able to apply this color change to all master slides automatically?

    Select all the sides...click+shift on each slide. Or pick one slide then select all...Apple key+A. Then change your theme/master.

  • Changing Font Colors on Master Slides

    I really like Keynote compared to Powerpoint, but I am having a problem making one change to the master theme slides. I am able to change the look, font, etc. on the master slides of a theme, but I cannot figure out how to change the font color in the master slides. Which means that when I am using Portfolio, for instance, which I like, I have to change each slide's font color from gray to black, which is easier to read. I would rather do that on the master slides, but have been unsuccessful thus far.
    Any help would be appreciated. it doesn't make sense that you could revise the masters in just about any way EXCEPT font color. So I must be missing something.

    You change the font color on the master slide, the same way you change it on any other slide. Click view, then Show Master Slides, then select the slide and change it the way you do a regular slide.

  • How can I change the image quality of a background image on a master slide?

    I can change the image quality from low to high for other images in my Captivate project, but the background image I'm using on my master slide looks pixellated. I would like to change this image to high-quality but I don't see the option in my properties panel on my master slide.
    Thanks for any help!

    You cannot import AI images directly. However, when I use Illustrator drawings, I'll import them as smart object in Photoshop and then you can import the PS-layer.
    The quality you set in Captivate is not for individual images, but for the slides that are published as bitmap. This means that it doesn't matter if the object is on a master slide or on a regular slide IMO

  • Slider that changes background color

    Hello,
    I am new to Xcode 5, and I am trying to make a slider that when you slide it to the right the background color will start at white, then fade into blue, and then fade into yellow. I already have the slider connected in the .h file, and I already created an action in the .h file. Can anyone help?

    use a setInterval() loop with updateAfterEvent() if an
    onEnterFrame doesn't update frequently enough.
    p.s. terminate your loop onRelease and initiate it
    onPress.

  • Why can't I change the background color on title slides in 10.0.2?

    I can change the font color, but the background only seems to be able to be black. any truth in that?  Seems like the older version I had let me change the background color.

    @ KT
    I'm replying to myself because I cannot see your post ??????
    From my email- KT said:
    "Typically, when a same-only different controller acts up like this, the first thing to do is to rewire - sounds like you've gone down that path tho.
    Can you duplicate one of the cooperative controllers, add it to the mix and see if things change there?"
    I've tried all of that several times.  I have no idea.  Maybe some sleep will help it and me.
    Thanks for your comments and suggestions.
    Edit
    As soon as I posted this - your post appeared.  Again??????

  • Change background color in slide show

    How can I change the background in slideshow from white to black?

    I think that the white colored photo templates may have slideshow backgrounds that are white, and black colored photo templates may have slideshow backgrounds that are black. If it is easy enough for you to drag your photos to a black photo template, that would be the first thing I would recommend that you try.
    Otherwise, the background color of the Apple slideshow seems to be controlled by a CSS file that is provided by the .Mac server. Remember that the slideshow function is .Mac only...this is because several of the resources are resident on the .Mac servers. If you want to make changes to the color of the background, I understand that it is necessary to override the CSS settings by adding another file after publishing (and everytime you republish). Here is a previous thread that sheds some light about the topic...

  • Objects in master slide disappear

    Hi,
    I got a problem with my master slides. I don't know why, but in some projects (not all), at some point, some objects (not all) in the master slide disappear. They are in the timeline, but we cannot see them in the document window display nor in the published swf. 
    What's the bug? (I'm using Captivate 5.5)
    Thanks
    LAG

    Hello again
    I totally understand about the visibility on Timeline having no effect on the published output.
    Let me try to explain this differently. Consider your Captivate workspace to be like a piece of paper. Perhaps you lay another piece of paper sized identically to the first on top of the paper. That second piece is colored gray. So it would provide the illusion of a gray background. You insert a caption and you see the caption and the gray background. You later insert another image. Perhaps a small photo. Now you see the caption, the photo and the gray background. But what if the photo were the same size as the paper? Then the whole photo would just cover the gray background. That's what I was trying to get at by turning off visibility in the timeline. Thinking that perhaps you have something large that is just covering things up where you cannot see them.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Master slide and table default - Very confusing behavior

    This odd behavior cost me the last two hours, so I just wanted to check with you folks if you know a work-around.
    Been fiddeling with a new Theme I am building and I was just about to define the default look for a table. Generated a table in the master slides window, applied all formatting I want and I was just about to apply it as the default for this theme (or even this master slide) and POOF - as soon as Keynote finished the
    Format>Advanced>Define Image for Current Master
    the table reverted back to the look of a previous version. No matter how often I truied to re-create the intended look, it always came back in this half-baked form.
    Very irritating, this behavior and I am sure that there is a fix. Anybody any ideas?
    Best Regards,
    /Dirk

    Ok, so I built a new master theme - same effect. The background colors and text formatting for the body of the table would not hold.
    Then I placed a placeholder object into the master slide for the table, did all my formatting, applied it and voila - it carried over.
    Seems that the palceholder did the trick for me.
    Thanks for your support, brian

  • Master Slide default

    I have always been curious which master slide is chosen when I insert a new slide within a slide show. The slide within your show that you have highlighted determines which Master Slide has a check mark beside it, but that is not always the one which is chosen as the new one.
    Am I missing something?

  • Change background color during text edit mode

    THis is a wacky problem...
    I have a presentation template. The slide master has white copy in the title and black copy in the body/bulleted list.
    When I try to use the template and edit the title copy, the background color for editing that line is white, just like the text, so I can't see what I'm typing. I can't figure out how to change the background color during text edit mode so that I can actually see what I'm typing. Is there a way to make this transparent?
    For some reason, the body copy edit works fine: black text edited in either a white or transparent background color.
    help!
