How change the background to black for a Custom Text properties

I am trying to changed the background of the whole screen when I go to a Custom Text Properties page. NOTE: I am not trying to change the background of the text (font)! I am trying to change the whole background.

I'm confused. Are you telling us what you're doing or asking a question?

Sorry... Asking... How do I change the background of a Custom Text Property Page. In the editor you have an option to change the text color, and background for the font color. How do I change the whole background of page to anything other than white?

The answer depends on the buzztouch version you're using. For either version, 1.4 or 1.5 you can always set the background color using CSS in the HTML. IF you're using v1.4 you won't be able to do this with a Custom TEXT screen, only Custom HTML. For v1.5 you use the advanced settings > screen background color / image.

v1.5 Android background images should work. For sure v1.5 isn't where we want it to be but bg images should work. have you opened the output console with the app running to see where it's looking for the image? Is the image being downloaded from a URL, included in the project? Gonna need to figure out... a) Where is image is suppossed to come from (Project/BT_Images folder or URL) b) Why the app can't find it. The LogCat console will show you this. It's a bit nerdy to figure out how to show the LogCat console then filter out all the Android platform messages but super useful once you do. Look for messages in the console that begin with ZZ. All the ZZ messages are messages from your project to show you what's happening (like where it's looking for the image)
