MindManager comes with a wide assortment of suitable background images designed to enhance the look of your map. You can add these background images from the MindManager Library pane, or use your own image from a file. You can combine a background image with a solid color by adjusting the image transparency.
Right-click the map background, click Background, and then click Assign Image from Library
In the Library pane, locate the image you want to use.
Click the preview image in the lower part of the Library pane to add the image to your map.
You can add an image from a file by using the commands to change the background properties.
You can format the map background to select a solid color (instead of, or in addition to, an image) or include a background image from a file. You can control the background image transparency here (for your own image or for MindManager background images).
Right-click the map background, click Background, and then click Background Properties.
Select the background Color if desired.
Select a background image file. (If you've already selected an image from the Library, you'll see its name here.) If you use your own image, it should be subdued in content, or you can use transparency to "fade" it so it doesn't detract from the map.
The image will be tiled according to the Tile options you select.
Set the image transparency (0% is opaque).
The background image is drawn on top of the color, so if you make the image transparent the background color will show through.
Right-click the map background, click Background, and then click Background Properties.
Click Remove Background Image, and then click OK.
