The OP asked how to set the background color in Slideshow as it is not obvious.
Matthew replied:
Locally, I’d superimpose a picture onto a color rectangle:
#lang slideshow
(define (add-bg p color)
(refocus (cc-superimpose
(colorize
(filled-rectangle (pict-width p)
(pict-height p))
color)
p)
p))
(add-bg (bt "Hello") "green")
To globally set the background, I’d use that in an assembler:
#lang slideshow
(define (add-bg p color)
(refocus (cc-superimpose
(colorize
(filled-rectangle (pict-width p)
(pict-height p))
color)
p)
p))
(current-slide-assembler
(let ([orig (current-slide-assembler)])
(lambda (title sep body)
(ct-superimpose
(inset (add-bg (inset full-page margin) "green")
(- margin))
(orig title sep body)))))
(slide #:title "Example" (bt "Hello"))
