Ah silly me, the artboard opacity was 10% - thanks again!

P.S. Image attached. I made the stroke thicker to demonstrate. Thanks again!

Hmm, I see it as 100% and cannot change it at all. If I convert to SVG and open in Designer 1, it is 10% of course. Are you on macOS, iPadOS or Windows?

Thanks for the prompt response! I apologize for not being specific enough: Can you change the color of the outermost rectangle to solid black? I could change the stroke and color of all other shapes without problems, just not that of the outermost rectangle.

I started a simple design in Affinity Designer 2.0.0 (only and latest version) on Windows 11 Pro (latest updates, version 22H2) that does not allow the border of the item named “Main Panel” to be edited. I was forced to export the file to SVG to open it in Affinity Designer 1 to continue. The program hung for a bit while editing, and on relaunch asked for permission to submit crash reports that I approved. The problem file is attached. Thank you for your attention.

Thank you very much @Callumfor your post. I was able to install using the command line. I am sure I will find this to be useful information in the future. My Windows App Installer is version 1.18.2691.0 (Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_1.18.2691.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe) and I had not had any issues with it previously. Windows Store Apps troubleshooter reported no problems. Honestly, I wish Serif would offer alternative installation options. I doubt that Windows upgrade path from version 10 to 11 is a clean process, and troubleshooting Windows Installer issues for even advanced users is difficult. As to the Affinity Apps themselves, well, Awesome! Thanks again.

I get an error "The app didn't start" when trying to install any of the Affinity V2 programs (MSIX downlaods from Serif.com following the links afer purchase) on 64-bit Windows 11 Pro 22H2 OS.Build 22621.819. Any help would be appreciated.
