- Even after you've settled on a theme you like…for your presentation, chances are you'll still want…some slides to stand out or look a little…different from the others.…We already saw how you can change the theme for just…specific slides, but another way to give individual slides…a different look is to customize their backgrounds.…I'm still working with the same presentation…from the previous video, and I'm going to…select the third slide here.…Here in the Design tab we'll find…the Format Background button.…We've seen the format panel for several objects already,…but in this case I'm interested in the Fill tab.…This is where you can change the background of a slide.…We have a Solid Fill option, where you can…choose a color to use for the background.…
Now in the case of this slide, we only see…the border change because this particular theme…uses a background graphic too,…which is this white area here.…But I can easily hide it by choosing…Hide Background Graphics.…Now we just see the solid color for the entire background.…
