<wrap hi>**Background Selection dialog. Make selection above.**</wrap>

The dialog's elements shown above are discussed below:

  * **Reset** - When selected, the user is returned to the originating page //without any changes being activated//. If in trouble, it is a "Get out of jail, free!" card. [In this demo, it is //not// clickable. Use the browser's back arrow or swipe right-to-left.]]

  * **Color** - Allows for the selection of ARGB colors using Total Launcher's Color Picker utility. For **Text**, **Shapes**, **Layouts** and **Windows** this is a very usable background element. For **Widget containers**, **Icons (some)**, and **Images**, the selected color could significantly overlap the main object unless it was applied with a more transparent hue. Experimentation is a good teacher. See more about this [[:ui:ui-color_picker|Color Picker]] and then return here.

  * **Dynamic color** - The point made in the previous feature "Color" can also apply here in Dynamic Color. Both are "colors". Dynamic color is colors based on Android's Material You design language and a system that adapts the Launcher’s color palette based on the user's wallpaper or theme. It uses //predefined// roles, like "Primary", "Secondary", and "Error", and applies consistent and appealing colors across different UI elements //based on the user's setup// color scheme. See [[section:section-dynamic_color_customize|Customize Dynamic Color]] for more discussion. 

  * **Icon Pack** - Icons or icons from icon packs can be used in backgrounds mostly as an opaque image or in a modified transparency mode which rests behind a foreground such as text or another graphic. These icons can come from applications, be included in Total Launcher built-in icons, or be downloaded from the Google Play Store.

  * **Shape** - Shapes, with their color and gradient fills, can satisfy nicely as backgrounds, but again, have the same cautions as basic color, dynamic color, and icon packs: namely, opaque qualities can cause issues. Shapes can also be used to blur a wallpaper background.

  * **Image** - Displays the Launcher's Resource category for image storage.

  * **Dynamic image** - Displays built-in images which automatically change depending upon their state, such as a clock, a weather icon, or even the graphic ''text'' which can be dynamic if the text variable offered between Total Launcher and external automation apps (Tasker, MacDroid, etc) is used.

  * **Shadow** - Displays a dialog to create a 3-D or elevation or directional effect for the object.
