Question

master slide background color

When I select the master slide on the far left (the slightly bigger one), and I deselect "project background" and change the "stage:" to a different color, nothing happens.  I am trying to use the solid color (paint can) and I put in my choice of Hex color (005983).  When I try the same thing on the individual master slides to the right, I also get nothing.  I even changed the Edit>Preferences>Defaults>Background color to the same color.  And I get nothing.

I can (and have) put other things (logo, color bar) on the Master slide, and it propigates to the right on the other slides.  What am I missing?

That slide is the main master slide, can have things trickle down to daughter master slides. If you post a screenshot, please include the Properties panel of that slide?

You posted this in Quizzing? Are you talking about question slides? Can you check the daughter master slides for the different types of questions?

Can you share a screen capture of one of your regular slides?

Sorry, I'm not sure what I did to get this in Quizzes/LMS.  This is a general question. 

There isn't much to post in terms of screenshots.  In properties I have unchecked "project background" and selected the stage color.  The logo and orange bar i put on the master propigate to all the daughter masters.  I feel like this is super easy, and I'm missing something obvious.  But I sure don't know what.  Any insight would be appreciated!

BTW, the dark bar at top, the pure white screen area, the slightly less white area under the pure white - those are all what was on the slide.  I would have expected once I turned off the project background to have a totally bare, white page.

Sorry, can I see the Timeline of the Main master slide? I thought you turned off Project background for normal slides.
