The Styles Dash lets you determine the style of nearly every graphical element on your webpage. Most of these styles are universal and immutable. For example, if you set the color of Styles Dash > Navbar Widget to red, then the navbar on every page will be read.

The situation is different with backgrounds. The Styles Dash lets you set various background elements, but does not apply them. To apply your dashboard settings, you must add the appropriate background trigger-option to the $blogExpOpt of the prototype, category, or post you want to affect.

The Styles Dash lets you determine the following background styles:

1. Webpage background color (set in Body Widget)
2. Webpage background texture and image (set by the Theme Folder you have named in Styles Dash > Theme Folder Widget)
3. Text Area background color—when using the CARD option (set in Styles Dash > PostBody Widget)
4. Text Area opacity, border, and shadow—when using the CARD option (set in Styles Dash > PostBody Widget)

The styles you set in the Styles Dash are called the default background styles. None of them are applied unless you add the appropriate background trigger-option to the exporting note (or prototype). When a note’s $blogExpOpt is empty, its webpage and Text Area backgrounds will be white.
