Present: themes, how the words look
Make your own look for the slides, with your fonts and colors, and words that stay readable on any picture.

To make your own, open Present, then , and press . Give it a name, pick the theme it starts from, and press . Leaders and up make and change themes.
Change it
The editor opens full screen, with a big picture of the slide as the room will see it.
- Pick the kind of words along the top: , , , or . Each has its own look.
- Choose the font (each shows in its own face), its size, and the smallest it may shrink to when a line is long. Lyrics never go under 48, so the back row can read them; a line still too long wraps.
- Set the color, where the words sit (top, middle or a lower third), a shadow, an outline, or a band behind them. copies the font and colors to the rest.
- Under , change the background ( makes a picture with AI), how slides come on (a fade, a dissolve, a push or a zoom), and slow zoom, which lets a still picture drift a little closer while it's up.
- Press to watch one slide give way to the next, then .
Your church's colors and fonts from your brand are offered as you go.
Words that stay readable
When a background is a picture, PraisePad checks how well the words read on it. On lyrics, if a picture is too light or too busy, it fixes them by itself and says so, like "Made readable: a dark band (55%)", with . On other words it says "Hard to read on this picture" and offers a band, blur, a stronger shadow or a darker picture.
Use it
Pick it from in a presentation; for one part, from , which can change the font, color and size on top of it too; or in Present's , under Look, for new services. In the editor, starts a series' sermon slides in it. The list shows where each theme is used. takes one out of the lists; slides that use it keep it.
