ChrisW Posted May 4, 2022 Report Share Posted May 4, 2022 Good morning 🙂, in one of the videos for storyist on Youtube I saw the ability to give the paper background not only a colour but also a pattern like a piece of paper. In my version of storyist 4 (it’s the actual version but I can’t remember the number in the moment) on my macbook air with Big Sur, I have only the option to change the colour. I searched the forum bit didn’t find an answer. Is the option gone in storyist 4 or do I miss something? I think the videos are for storyist 3. Any advice is appreciated. Have a nice day!

MovieYarns Posted May 4, 2022 Report Share Posted May 4, 2022 Hi ChrisWÂ I am on version 4.2.5. Â You're right. Â I can change the colors but can NOT get a background image (that could be a grid image if you like) to come up. Â This is the closest I could come and still couldn't get an image or grid to come up. Version 4.2.5 Storyist>Preferences>Theme button (like a painters Palette)>Colors Tab>Page Background, then, Click COLOR icon at the bottom, double click the 3 dots in the Spectrum window, select NEW FROM FILE (AND HAVE YOUR GRID.JPG ready) to select as Page Background. Â There is a Color square in the lower left of the color picker (even if I added a picture there... I can only get a specific color, not the picture). Â I have to drag and drop in some cases the color square to the color box to get it to show on-screen. Â Close the window. Maybe STEVE will see this and can comment.

ChrisW Posted May 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2022 Hi MovieYarns, thank you for your help! I'm also on version 4.2.5. I followed your advice and I could place an image. Maybe Steve will comment on this too. Have a nice day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marguerite Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 It was there in earlier versions: you could get a corkboard background in grid mode, for example, which I loved. Apple did something that cause Steve to change it, but to be honest, I still miss that feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisW Posted May 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 Hello marguerite, I think I saw that paper background in Storyist 3. I like that paper background. Maybe we’re lucky and see it sometime again. I would love to have it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieYarns Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 Hi Marguerite and ChrisW, I’d like them back too, if/when Steve can do it.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
