Captivate 5

I am publishing my project to html, but wish to change the background colour of the html page to match the projects colour scheme.

I can find no option in Captivate to do this, and it is always output as white = <body bgcolor="#f5f4f1">

I change the colours used within captivate and change the html colour of the borders, or the captivate project background, but this does not effect the html page when published.

Is this possible?

At present I am having to manual amend the html to the colour of my choice.

Click on "Themes" in the top left corner.

Select "Theme Colors"

Then click on "Customize"

You will want to change the color of the "Slide BG"

@Nancy, sorry but that is not for HTML background at all. Did you eve read this article:

Theme Colors - Captivate blog

I have explored the Theme colors in depth, the color label seldom tells where that color is used.

I get the same problem. It seems you can change the colour once and it will always stay like that.

What I ended up doing was manually editing the HTML, really annoying.

I'm having the same problem. Changing it on the Borders section of the Skin Editor does not seem to do anything. The only way I've been able to change it is by manually editing the project HTML file.

I've encountered exactly the same problem. Some projects take that background HTML color and use it, and others don't. I can't find any rhyme or reason to it.

Going in and manually editing the HTML resolves the issue, but that isn't particularly pretty.

On the top bar, go to Project > Skin Editor

Then click on the "Borders" button (the button with a square on it).

At the bottom, you'll see a place to select the HTML Background color.

That should do the trick (it works fine for me).

Thanks for response, but it doesn't work for me

It changes the borders html background colour, but makes no difference to the page html background colour when publishing to html.

I didn't have any borders, so have tried adding borders to see if that made any difference, but it didn't. I still get a white web page with my project in the middle of it and a coloured bordered

Hi there

Can you post a screen grab of what you are seeing? The instructions Orange_Sean provided should have done the trick for you. Even though you aren't using Borders, it still should have changed the HTML background color. Unless we have unearthed a bug or something.
