How to remove an image assigned to a song verse

This topic describes how to get rid of a background assigned to a song verse.
The background assigned to a song verse will always be displayed, whatever background you have set to the song.
Indeed, a song verse background has priority over a song background.

Note
While the methods below describe the solution for a background, they also apply to other style attributes, such as the font, the font size, the color, etc.
In the same way, the methods apply to other style levels (Songbook, Songbooks), and to those of the Bibles.

For this task, we will consider a song with four verses and the image background style attribute.
Let's say that we have assigned:

• an image (sunflowers) to the whole song
  

and more specifically:

• an image (a dove) to song verse 2.
  

As a consequence, verses 1, 3, and 4 will be displayed with sunflowers as background, and verse 2 with a dove:

Song verse 1: Sunflowers (from "Song" style level)

Song verse 2: Dove (from more specific, higher, "Verse" style level)

Song verse 3: Sunflowers (from "Song" style level)

Song verse 4: Sunflowers (from "Song" style level)

Use any of the following methods to remove the dove image from verse 2.
Verse 2 will then be displayed with the image from the lower style level (the "Song" style level): sunflowers.

Method A: Use the "Brush" icon
1. In the slide panel, click on song verse 2.

This will automatically set the style level to "Verse", as shown in the toolbar at the top left:

Note 1
If the style does not switch to "Verse", select the "Verse" style level manually:

Note 2
To force VideoPsalm to automatically switch to the "Verse" style level when you click a song verse, select "Verse" in the options:

2. Click the "Brush" icon located in the toolbar at the top-left, in the "Styles" group:

The brush has the effect of removing all style attributes at the selected style level.
This means that all style attributes assigned to the song verse 2 will be cleared.
In our case, it will remove the "Dove" image from the song verse 2.
The song verse 2 will then be displayed with the image from the lower style level (the "Song" style level): sunflowers.

Note
The "Brush" icon is disabled when there is no specific style attribute set at the selected level.

Method B: Use the "Brush/Badge" icon

When the "Green dot" icon is selected, VideoPsalm displays style level badges over the style properties:

Such a badge enables you to reset the corresponding property:

To clear the image assigned to the "Verse" style level, press the orange "Brush" badge icon on top of the image gallery.

Method C: Use the style explorer and its "Brush" icons
Open the style explorer with the help of the tiny button located down-right in the "Style" group:

This tiny button expands the style explorer panel.
Expand the "Background" panel by clicking on it:

The style explorer tells at which level any specific style attribute is set.
There you can remove a specific style attribute (whereas with method A, you remove all of them at once, which is not necessarily what you want...).
Click the "Brush" icon located to the right of the property that you want to remove:

The guitar icon at the right indicates that the corresponding attribute is set at the "Verse" style level.
A blue bullet means "Base" level.
Use the style explorer whenever it is not clear at which level an attribute is assigned.

Method D: Remove all the above style attributes
1. Click on the song, either in its songbook, or in the agenda (if you have it there):

This will automatically set the style level to "Song", as shown in the toolbar at the top left:

2. Open the drop-down menu at the right of the "Brush" icon and click "Delete all the above style attributes":

This menu removes all attributes assigned to higher level styles (song verses in this case).
Style attributes assigned to the "Song" style (the currently selected style level) are preserved.

Note
The methods described in this article apply similarly to any style attribute:

• Background image or video
• Slide transition
• Text color
• Font
• Font style (italic, bold, etc.)
• Text alignment
• Margins
• etc.
