Simple Page Background

The Simple Page Background simulates a white page on a white background. It achieves it's effect by simple graphic trickery. No special code knowledge is required, and only basic Freeway 4 Pro knowledge is used.

  1. Be sure to center your page.
  2. Select the "simplepageshadow.gif" image as the Page Appearance background.
    • Horizontal = "centered"
    • Vertical = "tile"
  3. Preview

Your "page" will now extend as long as it needs to. There will be no bottom or top, and you must remember to give yourself some space on the sides. You can't really see the effect in Freeway 4 Pro’s working window, but as the width of this document is the same as the "page", you can always know where the left and right "edges" are because they are the same as the "page" in the Freeway document.

The image used to achieve the Simple Page Background effect cannot show a colored background unless the image itself is colored, and if you use it then your background color will always be white. To let the background change color, here is a slightly less simple solution.
