Changing the background properties

The default background color, the default background image, and the default background sound are inherited from the title properties by default. Changes applied to the background color, image, or sound within your test or survey's properties will only be applied to the pages contained within the test or survey.

Background images are tiled (repeated) by default. Background images that are the exact same size as the page (height and width) will not be tiled. If the background image size is different from the page size - either smaller or larger - it will be repeated both horizontally and vertically to cover the entire visible background area within the browser window. If you choose a background image, the background color will not be visible, unless the image is transparent.

The background sound restarts as users navigate from one page to the next.

To specify your changes you either use the Background Wizard or manually set the background's color, image, and sound properties.

To use the Background Wizard:

In the Title Explorer, double-click the graphic of the test or survey you want to change. Alternatively, you can right-click the test or survey in the Title Explorer and select Properties. The Properties ribbon is displayed.
Launch the Background Wizard by clicking Background Wizard from the Background group. The Background Wizard opens.
Follow the prompts and use the controls to configure your background properties.
Click Finish when you are done making changes.

To manually configure background properties,

In the Background group on the Properties ribbon, click the appropriate background setting you want to change. Select either Color, Image, or Sound.
To change the color setting, you can select a predefined color, specify a custom color, or select an existing color. To select a predefined color, click one of the color samples displayed.
