How to add a behind page background?

[cristianortt]

I'm struggling to figure out how to add a behind page background. I simply want to be able to set the color behind the page to black, but I can't figure out how to set this up manually. I keep having to enter one of their design templates that already has a background attribute and do it that way. Even then, sometimes it won't let me change the color. How do I set behind page backgrounds?

Hi cristianortt,

You can drag a color swatch at the bottom of screen on your page background.

Is this what you meant?

Edit: I now realize that your question is about xara web design, I'm not sure if it's the same behavior...

have your image or color file on desktop, ctrl+ right click drag&drop on the background area you want

Coco is correct :-)

WOW! Thank you all. It worked. I ctrl + right clicked a color from the color swatch and dragged it to the background.

You can also Ctrl drag and drop a bitmap onto the background (this is referred to as the "Pasteboard area").
