Elements can be filled with solid colors and gradients.
A pre-selected list of solid colors, gradients, grayscale colors and fully transparent are available as choices for your page elements. Please note that fill color is the only editable style for pages.
You can also make your own colors, using a color wheel and saturation slider. Non-page elements can also have transparent fills, allowing anything in the background to appear.
The gradient editor allows you to make either a linear or radial gradient. Choose your gradient type, then add color control points using the slider and color picker.
