# Filling Elements with Colors or Images

You can fill any element or page with a solid color, color gradient (colors that shade into each other), or an image.

You can set the opacity of the fill independently of other settings allowing your elements to have partial transparency.

To adjust the fill opacity:
- Select the element.
- Click on Inspector in the toolbar, and then click the Graphic button.
- Drag the Fill Opacity slider to adjust the transparency.
