I can position text over a slide in RCS - margin vertically by px and horizontally by %. Is there a way to do the vertical by % also or is that a limitation of CSS? As you change width responsively, it can drop the text off the picture and looks bad. Only option appears to be to reposition periodically at the break points.

Unrelated, once I set a background on an element, I don't know how to clear it back to transparent. Only able to delete and start over. How do you reset the background?

Did you try to position it absolutely? That could do what you are looking for. If not please post a link so we can look at the design.


Setting the background image drop down to None should do that. If you added a background color you need to set the transparency value in the color picker to zero as well.

On position, Relative and Absolute seem to do the same thing. My desire is to have a element stay, for example, in the center of the slide. The % for left and right accomplish that horizontally, but the px offset for vertical ties its position an absolute measure, anchored to the top or bottom. In both cases, it will not stay in the center as you adjust the width. It needs to be a % measure, I'm guessing something not available in CSS. My best solution seems to be to decide whether I want to use the top or bottom as the anchor, then reposition at a breakpoint when it drifts too far to look as desired.

On the transparency, I finally did find it also, but it's not obvious. The box is labeled "a", no relation to "transparency" for us uninitiated. Also, when you start to edit it, to put a decimal number for partial transparency (like 0.5), you have to start with the 0, not the decimal for it to take.

So I think I'm good unless you can tell me how to use % for left and right margins.

Thanks, Bob
