Appearance Tab

The Appearance tab lets you override the slide’s visual appearance. Settings apply only to the current slide and take precedence over project defaults when overridden.

Background and Text

The Background and Text section lets you override:

  • Background Color – Choose from preset colors or use a custom color picker.
  • Text Color – Choose the text color (dark or light) for the slide.
  • Background Image (Desktop) – Upload a desktop background. Aspect ratio 4:3 (1200×900px recommended). Delete or replace anytime.
  • Background Image (Mobile) – Upload a mobile background. Aspect ratio 1:1.9 (600×1140px recommended).

Supported image formats: SVG (recommended, max 2MB); for non-SVG slides: PNG, JPG, AVIF, WebP (max 500KB). Images with transparent backgrounds show the specified background color.

Default vs Custom Appearance

Toggle between Default Appearance and Custom Appearance:

For SVG (Personalized Graphic) slides, the default option is disabled; appearance is always customized per slide.

  • Upload an image that appears above the slide content or as a double-width widget.
  • Set Maximum Inline Image Height (in pixels) to control sizing.
  • Supported: SVG (max 2MB), PNG, JPG, AVIF, WebP (max 500KB).
