turn on and off themes

Jul 19, 2012

is there a way to "flip a switch" and turn off background graphics?

if a viewer finds the BG too distracting is there a way to default to a simple 1 color background so it's easier for them to work thru the info?

thanks

Well, if your background is just another object on the slide, you can always add a button that hides it.

I'd probably also add some variable magic to that button that sets a value for a variable.  Only show object background when your variable = true.  Then hide it when the variable = false.  Then add a slide trigger to each slide to only show the background when the variable = true.

Very true!

I was assuming it would be in the Slide Master, but you are correct - it does not need to be.
