and you can see the page rectangle with its own color.
You can use the color editor to edit these colors. Right click on the page and choose Change page
background to bring up the color editor, then you can edit the page color. To edit the pasteboard
background color, right click on the pasteboard and choose Change background color
.
To set a repeating background texture, drag the photo or bitmap onto
your document. Open the Bitmap Gallery, scroll to the photo you just
loaded, click on it to select it, and then click the Background
button on the gallery.
Page Background Layer
When you set the page background color by dropping a color onto the page as described above, this
actually adds another layer to your document, which you can see if you open the Page & Layer
Gallery. It's called the Page background layer
.
This layer is normally locked, so you can't select and edit its contents. But you can unlock it in the Page
& Layer Gallery
in order to perform some limited editing of it, to customize your page background. Just click on the lock
symbol next to the "Page background" layer to unlock it.
Now if you click on the page background, you'll see a rectangle becomes selected (see status bar). This
rectangle covers your whole page - it's used to set the page color. You can now do some limited editing
of this rectangle, such as give it a graduated fill using the Fill Tool, or give it rounded corners using the
Rectangle Tool
.
Note
: You must also set the pasteboard color too, before you can give your page anything other than a flat
color.
Offsetting the top of your page
Normally if you just set the page and pasteboard to different colors, when you preview you'll see that the
page extends right to the top of the browser window. You can't see any of the pasteboard color above
your page. However you can add an offset so that there is some space above your page in the web
