Can I change the Playlist's background color?
Yes! You can change the background color of your playlist directly from the playlist settings.
This background will appear briefly during the transition between slides—especially if your slides have transparency or when there’s a loading delay.
Keep in mind that by default the background is black.
How to change the playlist background
- Go to the Playlists section
- Open the playlist you want to edit
- Click the three dots (⋮) at the top right to open Settings
- In the Settings playlist panel, find the section “Choose the playlist background”
- Click the color box and:
- Select a color using the color picker
- Or enter a HEX code (e.g. #ff008d)
- The change will be saved automatically when you click Save at the top
Tip: Use a color that matches your brand or the dominant color in your slides for a more seamless visual experience.
