    Default Background and Pasteboard question

    In Xara Web Designer 10 Premium there is a web template called Candy Floss. I and trying to figure out how they did the background/pasteboard colors. I know how to edit the colors but I want to make one from scratch and can not figure it out. Anyone know how to do that?

    another way of asking would also be how to have multiple colors on the pasteboard. Example: header area one color going all the way across forever, body area one color all the way across forever, footer area one color all the way across forever.

    Welcome to TalkGraphics

    You can drag and drop any color from the screen palette or the Color Editor onto the Pasteboard and or Page.

    You could create a long narrow bitmap with areas of color that you want for a banner page and footer area. Then select the bitmap in the Bitmap Gallery and select Set Pasteboard Background.

    In the attached example I added a lighter version of the background pattern for a banner and footer.

    THANK YOU for the reply. I am looking to find out how to have multiple pasteboard colors. The WD 10 theme called Candy Floss is a perfect example. It has like 6 different colors and you can change pasteboard colors. Any idea?
