Also, as you know, this can also be done by starting with any of the “Comic Book” template pages and then putting text on top. You mention scrolling… if that is not working with simple text overlays on comics, I expect we can fix that. Shoot us a report at issues@bloomlibrary.org.
The fact that you need to install a template, instead of it being available right away.
Not intuitive.
Bloom Training
As you know, our team is focused on Bloom training, and the more things in Bloom are intuitive the better. We would like to see a way of adding a background image via a menu, similar to the Comic Tool. In that tool you would simply browse for a background image and done.
I think that a lot of teams would really appreciate this feature.
This request is for a true background image capability of normal pages.
Instead, what we have for now is:
Overlay pages, which can have a full-screen image and then you place text boxes on top of that.
As Andrew wrote, you can have scrolling text on Overlay pages, these days.
The full screen template, which does what Koen is asking for as far as I can tell, but @Koen finds it difficult to use. Lacking any other input, it has never “shipped” with Bloom.
Maybe we can discuss the listed “Downsides”:
Only 1 image is allowed.
I don’t understand this “Downside”. The issue itself is asking for a single Background image.
The fact that you need to install a template, instead of it being available right away.
It’s experimental (and thus not built in) so that we can get feedback. Listing that status as a “downside” confuses the issue, I think?
Not intuitive.
OK, let’s improve that. @Koen can you make a suggestion?
