Using Map Background Styles

Map background styles allow you to set the background image (including tiling, opacity etc) and background color with a single action.

NovaMind comes with a number of map background styles built in, but you also create your own styles.

To select a style, go to the Map Design tab and use the Background Styles gallery to select a style to use for your background. There is a live preview so that you can see what it is going to be like when it is applied to your Mind Map.

If you want to create your own style, open the gallery by clicking on the down arrow button with the little line at the top of it, and select the Edit Styles option.

When you do this, you will be put into the map style editor, like this:

To start, either select an existing background style from the gallery, or click the New Style button. You can then use the Background options to edit the background image and color etc, and then when you have finished, save your style, and close the style editor.

To delete a Map Background Style

Scroll down to the bottom of the list of map styles in the style selector palette and choose the Browse Styles menu option. Click on the style you want to delete, and click on the Delete Style button at the bottom to remove it.
