Changing the Background
SlideRocket themes come with layouts that define where text boxes, images, etc. sit on each slide. In addition, each theme can have multiple backgrounds which sit underneath the layouts and may be a solid color, an image, a fill, or a gradient. So far we've been using the Blue background of the Aurora theme, but we have other options. Let's change one slide's background to black:
- Set your presentation back to the "Aurora" theme by clicking the Theme menu, selecting "Aurora", and pressing the OK button.
- Click the Background menu and you will see a thumbnail for each of the available backgrounds. Choose the "Black" background.
- The "Black" background will be applied to the current slide, but the backgrounds for the other slides in your presentation are not affected.
Backgrounds give you tremendous flexibility because you don’t have to create different layouts every time you want to change the background. Each layout does have a default background, but you can change that background for each slide. For example, you might use the same layout with a black background on one slide, a gray background on a second slide, and an image background on a third.
