At the moment there is no built-in option to apply an overlay like this over the slide, but you can create a colored, semi-transparent layer with the options located in the Styles tab and stretch it over the whole slide (100% width and height) for a similar effect.
As a follow-up, when I set the layer size to 100% width and 100% height, it covers the canvas but does not stretch to full screen. How can I get the layer to stretch across the screen?
In this case as an addition you will need to set the "Calculate positions from" option to "side of the screen" for the related layers. This is located under the Styles tab.
Hello
I would like to add a semi-transparent color overlay on the background image. How can I do this?
Thank you,
Valerie

Hi Attila,
Thank you for the quick and effective response. That was super easy.
