Background Color (Gradient) (Question Design Controls property)

Scope

• Book Page content object > Fill in the Fields object > Design Controls > Background Color (Gradient) property
• Book Page content object > Multiple Choice object > Design Controls > Background Color (Gradient) property
• Book Page content object (Quiz Template sub-type) > Quiz Item Template object > Design Controls > Background Color (Gradient) property

Purpose

The Background Color property specifies the (solid) 'fill' color to be used on 'answer controls' for questions (such as the square or circle the user clicks on to select a choice on Multiple Choice questions, or the input field(s) for Fill in the Fields questions). If the parent object's Gradient property is set to anything other than no Gradient then this property specifies the secondary color that the Background Color will transition into, within the control.

Use

You can either click on the colored square to the left of the property field (which shows the current color) and select or specify the required color in the Color Chooser dialog box, or you can enter the RGB hexadecimal color code directly into the property field. Alternatively, you can click on the checkered square on the left of the property field to set the background color to transparent.
