About This Feature
Overview
Background Solid Fill is a built-in background setting feature in WPS Presentation on Windows. It is used to apply a single-color background to one slide or multiple slides and adjust transparency at the same time.
Core tasks include:
- Open the background settings panel from the Design tab and switch to solid fill.
- Open Format Background from the left thumbnail pane to edit the current slide background directly.
- Open the same background settings from the editing canvas shortcut menu for faster adjustments while editing.
- Use Apply to All to sync the current solid background across the whole presentation.
This feature is useful for business reports, teaching decks, and event presentations. It helps unify slide style, replace the default background, and control background transparency.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | WPS Presentation lets you set a solid color background for slides, choose a color, adjust transparency, and apply the same background to all slides. | Microsoft Support describes fill settings for shapes and text boxes, including color and transparency controls, but this page focuses on object fill rather than full-slide background application. | Google Slides lets you change the background color of one slide or the whole presentation, and it supports custom color and transparency adjustment. | Notion supports text color, highlights, and block styling, but its help content does not describe presentation-style full-slide solid background filling. | Adobe Acrobat lets you add backgrounds to PDF pages on desktop, but the workflow is designed for PDF page editing rather than presentation background editing. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS provides multiple entry points inside the presentation editor and supports Apply to All for fast visual consistency across slides. | Compared with WPS: the cited Microsoft page emphasizes shape and text box fill, so the full-slide background workflow is less direct in this reference. | Compared with WPS: Google Slides also supports presentation-wide background changes; WPS keeps the workflow inside the presentation editing side panel used for background formatting. | Compared with WPS: Notion is better suited to page styling and content organization than slide background editing. | Compared with WPS: Adobe is more suitable for PDF page background processing, while WPS is more direct for slide background editing. |
| Official Source | — | Add a fill or effect to a shape or text box | Use a Template or change the theme, background, or layout in Google Slides | Style & customize your page | Add backgrounds to PDFs in Acrobat on desktop |
Overall Conclusion: If you want to set a solid background and keep multiple slides visually consistent in one editing flow, WPS provides a focused path inside the presentation editor. Google Slides also supports slide-wide background changes, while Notion and Adobe are oriented more toward page styling or PDF page processing.
