Website Backgrounds
Most of the page designs in the ONLINE CONTENT CATALOG have two types of
background. A wide Pasteboard background that extends across the background of the
whole browser window when your site is exported. And on top of this sits the Page
background with the various other elements that constitute the web page.

You can easily change the PASTEBOARD color or the PAGE BACKGROUND color by
dragging and dropping a color from the COLOR LINE or else using the COLOR EDITOR to
change colors.
When you create a new blank document ("FILE" > "NEW") the page defaults to being
transparent (no color) so you just see the pasteboard color behind it which is white by
default. You will also see a faint rectangle guide outline which shows the boundary of the
page against the pasteboard.
In addition, there are a wide variety of ready made background textures for you to use in
the ONLINE CONTENT CATALOG. Just drag and drop onto the Pasteboard to use.
See Website Backgrounds (on page 337) for more detail.
