Steve,<br>Thank you for your email.<br>Of course that I understand that better questions get better answers. I was not giving examples because most of the questions were conceptual. I am not expecting you to correct a wrong "{" or a package declaration in a wrong place.<br><br>Regarding the background set, I used three approaches:<br>1- \pagecolor{black} (yes I followed the manual)<br>2- and the eso-pic:<br>\newsavebox{\background} <br>\sbox{\background}{\includegraphics[width=40cm,keepaspectratio=T]{gklogo.jpg}}%<br>\AddToShipoutPicture{%<br>\AtPageCenter{\makebox(0,0){\usebox{\background}}}%<br>}<br><br>Even with the eso-pic approach, what is happenning is that with the white slides the background is over the white background of the slides, but here are the examples:<br><br>http://paginas.fe.up.pt/~rlima/poster/poster_ps.pdf<br>http://paginas.fe.up.pt/~rlima/poster/poster.pdf<br>http://paginas.fe.up.pt/~rlima/poster/poster.tex<br><br>What I was looking for was a solution
that will not overlap the white slides. <br>Thanks in advance for your help.<br><br><br><br><b><i>Steve Schwartz <s.schwartz@imperial.ac.uk></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> Ricardo,<br><br>Firstly, for the second and last time, you get better answers if you<br>show us what you did rather than describe the results. Assemble a small,<br>minimal example and include the latex source. There are lots of ways to<br>try to do what you are doing, and it is impossible for us to guess.<br><br>I suspect your problem is that whatever you are using to set a<br>background colour sets (or more accurately perhaps RE-sets) the pdf<br>document's background colour, so that anything in your pdf that is<br>"background" ends up in that colour. Actually, most of the time that is<br>what people would want to happen if you think about it, because it<br>CHANGES the background colour to the new
colour.<br><br>You might try the suggestion I've already made, namely to use eso-pic to<br>put a PICTURE in the background instead of setting a background colour.<br>I haven't tried it, but it should be as simple as creating a box as big<br>as your page filled with whatever colour you wish, e.g, using the<br>picture environment. Or (as I thought you were trying to do because you<br>didn't tell us) you can put a real graphic of some kind there.<br><br>Steve<br><br>On Tue, 2007-03-06 at 20:47 -0800, Ricardo Lima wrote:<br>> However, I was not able to set the background color.
