If your image doesn't take up the entire screen, you have the
option of how to color the outside of it. You can either choose
a vertical gradient, horizontal gradient, or a standard solid
color. If you choose a solid color, you select the color at
right by clicking on <guibutton>Color</guibutton>. If you pick
a gradient, you will have two options. Select the colors you
wish to do and your options will be made automatically.
