Hi, On my scrivener for windows I tried to do the same like on the Mac, changing the background image of the composition mode and then fade the paper a little bit. So I added a background image. Used the fade slider in composition mode. Unfortunately it fades the background image and I start to see my desktop ?!? Instead it should fade the paper. The text under the slider is “Papier verblassen”, which is German for changing the opacity of the paper… Is this a bug, or should I change something in the configuration? Thx. Michael ---

Looked at options check to make sure you did not check this button which would override the background (tested it and did). ![comp](https://forum.literatureandlatte.com/uploads/default/original/3X/1/b/1b7a5071643122358185bec35e8a201b7b050296.png) ---
