Setting a background color or image on a layer
By default, layers have transparent backgrounds, allowing any document content or background “under” the layer to show through them. You can change this behavior and make a layer opaque by assigning it a background color or image.
To set a background color on a layer
- Double-click the layer’s outline or layer markA small icon, visible only in Edit mode, that marks the location of a layer tag in the document..
- On the Layer Properties dialog box, click the Style button, and then click Style.
- On the Style dialog box, click the Borders & Background tab.
- Under Background, click the Color box and select a color.
To set a background image on a layer
- Double-click the layer’s outline or layer markA small icon, visible only in Edit mode, that marks the location of a layer tag in the document..
- Enter an image path or URL in the Image box.
If you set a background image that is smaller than the layer, the image repeats to fill the layer by default. If you do not want the background image to repeat, switch to HTML mode and insert the background-repeat cascading style sheets property with a value of “no-repeat” in the layer’s style attribute.
