Hi Dan, I encounter problems with the background setting. If I turn the background setting to static and take a color, it will be displayed in elements, but not in the preview mode on safari.

Hmm, could you share your project via Elements Cloud so we can take a look?

Ah-ha! I think I know what’s going on here. You have dark-mode switched on in the Editor…

Here’s a quick video explaining the issue.

Hope that helps!

That’s it. Many thanx. And why is the picture solution in safari less than in elements?

Becuase you have told Elements to resize/convert the actual file. Here’s how to fix it…
