Changing Background in Impress

users
#1

Hi

I recently upgraded to LO 6.1.2.1 and Ubuntu 18.10 and have a problem.

When designing impress screens, I cannot change the background colour. Everything remains stubbornly white.

I right click on the page, select "Properties" then Background, Colour. But instead of filling the screen it leaves it white. Selecting other options on that dialog, such as Bitmap or Hatch still results in plain white.

How can I change this?

Thanks

I do not know how to correct this, but to narrow the search: it works as expected in LO 6.1.2.1 in Windows 10.

There exists a check box "Master Background" in the side bar. It should be checked. Is it?

Kind regards

I can also confirm that it works with 6.1.3.2 on Manjaro 18.0

Thank you Regina! That indeed was the problem.
