Options
Gray Overlap
- This value refers to the transparency of a white layer that is used to tone down the generated backgrounds.
- It takes input values between 0 and 1 and with up to 2 decimal places.
- For our brighter backgrounds, it is recommended to set the overlay to 0.3 so text on the slide is more visible.
- If no Gray Overlay value is set, it defaults to 0.
For Original Backgrounds
Rows
- The number of rows refers to the number of rectangles displayed.
- It accepts input values of integers from 0 to 15.
- If no Row value is set, it randomly selects a value from 4 to 8 for each generated background.
- 0 rows creates two objects with some whitespace.
For Hexagons Backgrounds
Hexagon Size
- This value refers to the size of each hexagon in the tessellation.
- It accepts integer values from 10 to 200.
- If no value is set, it defaults to 20.
- If no value is set, it defaults to 5.
Color Noise
- This value refers to how much each hexagon's color may vary from the colors in the selected color theme.
- A higher Color Noise value would result in more random colors being shown as well as more variation between individual hexagons.
