EasyEditor offers two ways to change background colours:

  • Change the background colours of individual blocks yourself.

  • Use the colour theme tool to create a harmonious colour palette quickly.

Change the background colour of a block

To change the background colour of a block in EasyEditor:

  1. While editing your campaign in EasyEditor, select the block you want to change.

  2. In the left-side column, select the Styles tab, then expand the Background drop-down editor.

  3. Expand the Background layers drop-down menu, then choose the layer you want to style.

    Alternatively, select the precise area in the campaign, and the drop-down selection changes accordingly.

  4. If you want to change all matching colours in the campaign, select the Change all matching colours check-box.

  5. To change the colour, either:

    • Enter a HEX code.

    • Select a colour in the Colour picker, and use the slider to adjust its brightness.

    • If available, select a previously used or saved colour from Colours in this campaign or Custom colours.

Picked the wrong colour?

The background colour changes as soon as you select a new colour. To undo any changes, select Undo or use CTRL+Z.

Match a block with its background

If you want a block to have the same colour as its background, rather than colouring them both in, make the inner one transparent. To do this, select the transparency icon.

You can do this in both the Background and Colour theme editor menus.

To remove a colour from Custom colours:

    • Enter a HEX code.

    • Select a colour in the Colour picker, and use the slider to adjust its brightness.

    • If available, select a previously used or saved colour from Colours in this campaign or Custom colours.

  5. You'll instantly see your campaign coordinate its colour theme from your base colour.

Font colours

The colour theme tool changes your font colours automatically to make sure they're always visible.

  1. While editing your campaign in EasyEditor, select the block you want to change.

  2. In the left-side column, select the Styles tab, then expand the Colour theme editor menu.

  3. Select Manual.

    • Enter a HEX code.

    • Select a colour in the Colour picker, and use the slider to adjust its brightness.

    • If available, select a previously used or saved colour from Colours in this campaign or Custom colours.
