You can find a ready-made project in which fractals are animated and used as background under File / Open / Sample project. You can also copy the project and paste it into your project. There you can change the text. You can find the sample project under the title "Animated fractals". Although the fractals are only animatable in AquaSoft Stages, you can also view them animated in AquaSoft Vision.

In the Properties area, first of all in the Texture section, select a color gradient.
You can also choose your own pictures if you click on Own image.
After selection, you will see the preview directly in the Layout designer.

In the Fractal section now use the ruler to carefully adjust the appearance of the fractal. Even the smallest changes can - depending on the area - have a major impact.

In the section Segment you can determine which area of the fractal to display.

In the section Texture you can select further display options. The setting 1D is useful for progressive coursees, whereas the 2D setting works well for photos.

Under Text repetition you can specify how detailed the fractal appears.
