Background Image Doesn't Fit Entire Page

If I bring in an image for a page background and center it, there is a white margin all the way around. Why doesn’t it just fill my entire page.

The image is more than big enough.

Thanks.

Have you really applied it as a page background image using the
Inspector palette (or the magic keyboard shortcut), or are you
actually importing your image into a box that’s placed on the page?

Yes, it’s in the background of the page. Not a separate box.

And I don’t know the magic keyboard shortcut.

On a similar note, how can I have my page have a background color that’s exactly the size of my page without using a background filled box?

You apply a background colour to your page using the Inspector. Here’s
a screenshot:

If you apply a background to a box, that’s all it is - just a box
background. Your site’s background has to be set in the Inspector.

I get that. I just thought since my page size is say 800 x 800 and I put a page background on that 800 x 800 page that the color would be that size instead of filling up my entire browser window.

Not sure who you’re replying to as you haven’t quoted anything. If it
was me, then it’s your page size that’s 800x800, not your browser
window size. The background colour you apply using the Inspector will
fill the browser window from top to bottom, no matter what size it is.
Your page is something different and separate and it sits on top of
the background. You can give that a background too, if you want,
either a colour or an image, just as you can for any box you draw in
Freeway.

OK. Thanks. That’s what I wanted to know.
