Do you think the slideshow with a blank background is a little boring? If you want to make the slideshow look more beautiful, we can try to use the Background function in WPS Presentation.

First, we click the Design tab above and then click the Background drop-down menu. Here, you can choose your favorite gradient fill preset.

If we want to make more settings for the background, we can click Background. In the Object Formatting task pane that pops up on the right side of the screen, we can choose Solid fill, Gradient fill, Picture or texture fill and Pattern fill.

This video takes Picture or texture fill as an example. We click Picture or texture fill, and then in the Picture Fill box, we can select File. In the pop-up dialog box, select the picture and click Open to set this picture as the slide background.

Next, we can set the Transparency of the background picture to 50% and Tile Picture as texture to As texture. And we can adjust the Offset and Scale of the background picture according to the actual effect. We uniformly adjust the Scale to 84%, and finally, we can adjust the zoom ratio of the picture. Finally, we can also set the Alignment and Mirror Type of the background picture.
