No background color?

[menzzana]

Hi

Thanks for a very nice tool for making presentations.
Although I am trying to change the background, which does not seem to work?

I use the following custom.css, with just standard default installation

article {
background-color: light-blue;
}
article h1 {
color: red;
}

In this case I get "This is a test" in red as it should be, but background is still white?
I use hieroglyph 0.7.1.
What am I missing?

With kind regards
Henric

Hi

There are a few options, why you css-code fails to color your slides

(1) Which slide_theme are you using?
The css-selectors for slides and slides2 are different …

For ‘slides’, the ‘article’ is fine, but for slides2 (the google IO one) ’slide’ (no s!) is needed/used

2. Just article is/can be (too) short.
   Then standaard css files have a lot of predefined setting, for all kind of situations. That imply those selectors are long, and so can overrule your simple, but short one

I use “.slides > article.current” to set (the color of the) current slide. And some other prefixes for others
See the code example below

.slides > article.far-past,
.slides > article.past,
.slides > article.next,
.slides > article.far-next { background-color: light-blue; }
.slides > article.current { background-color: rgb(90%,95%,90%); }

Good luck

This is just a test so its only all default values, meaning I am using the slides theme, not slide2, and wanted to change the background according to https://github.com/nyergler/hieroglyph/blob/master/docs/getting-started.rst
"Styling your slides"
I thought that it would change the background of all slides in the presentation, but no effect could be seen. Also tried adding your ....
.slides > article.current { background-color: rgb(90%,95%,90%); }

but to no avail...

I have actually a follow up question, since what I wanted to do is create a slide, which would be a background to all other slides in the presentation, like a master slide. Is that possible?

This (master slides) would be a great feature. But it's not available as far as I know.

"light-blue" is not in 140 color names mentioned in http://www.w3schools.com/colors/colors_names.asp.
I replaced "light-blue" with "LightBlue" in my custom.css, then my slides reflect new setting.
