How to Change BG in Engage Slide?

Jul 14, 2011

I have an Engage slide in the middle of my presentation and I'd like to use the same background for it that's in use for the rest of the presentation. As it is now, it looks inconsistent with the default light blue Engage BG and rounded edges.

How can I make this slide look like the rest?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Transparent background is definitely the way to go!  You can also hide the Engage navigation bar with a purchased widget from eLearning Enhanced.  The price of the widget has gone up since I first found it, but if you use Engage and like to customize your look frequently, it's worth having!

Hi Phil,

No problem, great that yous hare your ideas here. I was just searching and found it there.

I also found that I need to aplpy a slide master to the slide itself. That was one step I forgot.

i also found that I need to right click on the slide wit the engage element on it and choose "Format background" (In PPT 2010). I am not sure it this is the right translation, I have a Dutch version. On this page you have the option to save a background image and an option was thicked to "not display background images". So I thicked that off as well.

So there are a lot of options to check!
