Steps to set a background (fill) color on an element.

Setting a background color can be used for many visual effects.

In this example, we have a text element over an image and it's difficult to read the text.

A very dramatic responsive design idea is to use an image as the background behind a section.

If you add a parallax effect, as the user scrolls down the page the background image and the content over it will scroll at different speeds. This creates a sense of depth.

This lesson outlines the steps to add an image background to a Section on the Flow page and set it to a slow parallax effect.

There may be different times when you wish to change what a cursor looks like. One common time is when adding a hotspot onto an image. You may wish for it to remain the "default" pointer instead of changing of changing into a hand. Or you may wish to make a different change entirely.
