If you configure the global theme to use a solid color background, you can use the solid color background in the screens to override the theme. If you switch the theme to specify a gradient background, all of the overrides become ineffective in the screens. The story background setting becomes ineffective at the same time. This seems like a 100% reproducible problem/behavior. my app is Test Global Theme Rob Tichy Title Comments Parker, I made a crazy simple test app to isolate the global theme against 2 screens and a top menu.

The only backgrounds I wanted to change is when I added a word or excel doc and wanted to make the background white, but it would always show the gradient. Jim Update- I just tried playing with this some more and noticed that for a work-around you can set the gradient top and bottom to the same color to get a solid background.
