In Page view, select the Layout or Layout Region.
The General tab of the Properties panel appears.
Select the Background tab.
In the Color field, select:
Automatic to set the background to the background color specified by the Layout’s current SiteStyle or the Layout Region’s parent object.
Transparent to eliminate the background color of a Layout. This option is not available for a Layout Region.
Color to select a background color from the Color Picker. The selected color appears in the box to the right of the Color field. To change the color, click the box and select a new color from the Color Picker.
In the Image field, select:
Automatic to set the background to the image specified by the Layout’s current SiteStyle or the Layout Region’s parent object.
None to eliminate the background image of a Layout. This option is not available for a Layout Region.
Browse to select an image from the Open dialog. See Choosing an Image Format. If the picture is smaller than the Layout or Layout Region, the browser tiles the image. To change the image, click the Browse button to the right of the field.
To assign a sound to a Layout that plays when a site visitor views the page:
Select Sound.
The Background Sound dialog appears.
In the Background Sound dialog, click Browse, and select a sound file from your hard disk or LAN.
You can use sound files in .au, .aiff, .midi, .ram, or .wav formats.
To repeat the sound while the page is open, select Continuous Loop.
Click OK.
The selected sound plays when you preview the page.
Site visitors must have a sound board, speakers or headphones, and a browser that supports background sounds installed on their computers to hear background sound. To preview and test sounds, your system must also be appropriately configured. Some sound formats also require support from the Web server. See Inserting a Sound File.
