Description András Gábor Kis 2016-06-14 19:02:30 UTC 
The slide master doesn't seem to have a CTShapeProperties entry. The only thing I tried to do is change the background color (currently i'm using a template slide to permanently set it), but it will throw:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: CTShapeProperties was not found.

Theres a method to create one, but thats unimplemented.

I would really prefer not to use the messy whatever tool Microsoft has provided for the task.

Could you be more specific about what's not working, such as a code example demonstrating the problem?

The github link to the project.

The location of the "error" is in hu.frontrider.pptgen.Writeppt.kt, line 48.

I've already fixed that issue locally, but now I try to make it more general, so the setFillStyle/setFillColor works with table cells, group shapes, backgrounds and of course normal shapes too.

I'll commit it in the next few days ..

Patched via r1749108
The test code is in TestXSLFSlideShow.testMasterBackground()

I've started to wrap the ooxml properties into delegates, to handle them alike, 
but I would actually prefer to enhance the xml schema classes with interfaces.
Although this change is sufficient for this issue - the delegate usage will be 
extended for the other XSLF classes.
If I have more or less complete set of interfaces, I'll probably modify the xml 
schemas, but that's to be discussed on the dev list ...
