Quick question guys (thanks in advance), to a very elementary question. I've done this before but can't figure what I'm missing to perform it again. I'm simply trying to make the artboard background invisible (screenshot below) but need the logo image to be white (I made it gray so you could see it in the screenshot). I can't remember how to get rid of the background! feeling like a dork, appreciate your help, -Christo

Hey AD pals, help here would be greatly appreciated. I have a logo design done on my MacBook with AffinityDesigner 1.5.4 and have it set up as a document on an artboard with both vertical and horizontal Cut and Bleed lines visible on the document in all 3 Personas. The Cut and Bleed lines were done 'by the book' using the menu item 'Guides Manager' and the file has been named and saved. My problem/question: I need to export this artboard showing the Cut and Bleed lines to the sticker printer however when I go into export mode and export it (so far have done .pdf, .jpeg, and .eps), the file described above exports successfully but WITHOUT the Cut and Bleed lines being visible in the exported file. Please advise on where I'm going wrong and/or what step I am missing. Thank you! -Christo

Can any you fine folk direct me on how to delete a file which has not been Saved-As yet? This is the file I was working with that froze the UI on my AD app as reported in my previous post ('Frozen Functions - most menu items disabled'). Regarding my 'frozen screen' in Affinity Designer - it appears to be a corrupted file, if possible it is probably self-induced. Attached are a couple of screenshots, one showing the screen BEFORE and the other showing the name of the file that I can now see after Force-Quitting AD and getting things moving again. The file name is now visible to me and reads 'CVlogoStockholm(currupt:pixelates).svg' as seen on screenshot-1. My question has now shifted from how to unfreeze, to how I can get rid of/delete this file. I don't want to go near it for obvious reasons. So far I've only tried dragging it into Trash from this 'Open Recent File' drop-down but having never been Save-As'd, it doesn't move. Suggestions? Thanks as always folks. I appreciate your time and instruction. -Christo *working on a 2017 MacBook Pro with Affinity Designer 1.5.4*

Miguel - even the yellow dot (minimize) button is disabled when the AD ui is up. Gives me the 'donk' sound when I click on it. I tried to screenshot it to post but could not. My computer allowed me to do the screenshot all the way up to the selection step, then would not capture it. Keep in mind, I have full functionality on all other processes on my computer that are unrelated to AD...even AffinityPhoto (just a reminder). Appreciate you considering this issue for me. -Christo

MEB, I didn't think to check for a window possibly hidden behind, I'll do that first. No, I did not Force Quit - it crossed my mind but having some open files with unsaved work, I was afraid by doing that I may lose those unsaved portions. I will try looking for the 'hidden' message window first. thanks Miguel.

...this detail may or may not indicate something - I meant to include it in my initial query. When clicking on anything at all, such as changing Personas (problem is ONLY within Designer, not Photo), selecting Move tool, selecting Pen tool, etc...I hear that audible 'donk' tone from my computer indicating that I'm trying to employ an inactive function or operation. Again, weird that I'm unable to even quit/close out of the AD app. Thanks again. -Christo

Hey guys, hope you've all been well. Thanks to lots of great instruction from the AD community I've been able to learn much more while working on Affinity Designer. I've got a weird problem now and I'm not sure if it's due to something I did or what. Working on a new MacBook Pro with AD 1.5.4, I was playing/selecting from the colors panel and suddenly lost functionality when trying to select items from the anywhere, by any means. 90% of my menu options are disabled/grayed out and I'm unable to quit Designer in order to do a restart of my computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The AD app is basically frozen, yet I can flip to Affinity Photo and have full functionality. Any advice? Thanks in advance. -Christo

..quite the dork, am I - somehow even though I understood what MEB was saying to do, my thinking was a full 180-degrees out of phase. By 'checking' I felt like I was 'unchecking'! All is good now R C-R. Thanks a bunch. -Christo

...also, please note the placement/position of the Exit (red circle), Minimize (yellow circle), and Maximize (green circle) buttons in the first 3 thumbnails posted just above, in my initial description. Those seen belong to each individual document that is currently open. The Toolbar no longer possesses these Exit, Min, and Max buttons as it originally did...nor does it have the words 'Affinity Designer' embedded in the Toolbar at top dead center as it did originally (same way 'Photo' is seen in thumbnail-4). I'm not being lazy - tried to find the fix myself for quite a while. Just can't find it. Thanks again. -Christo

..ok, my AD Studio is 99% back to normal after checking 'Reset Studio' in the View menu - however, I'm experiencing some weirdness with the Toolbar/Context Toolbar. Hopefully one of you cats can see what needs to be done and advise me based on the thumbnails below, along with my brief description. I can't seem to get the Toolbar back to it's original (factory) position at the very top position of the Studio - when trying to drag it up to the topmost edge screen/AD UI, I am hitting a point that I cannot move the Toolbar above. This leaves an approximately 1/2-inch gap through which I can see as well as move images into that are a part of the AD document I would be currently working on. For example, see the thumbnail below that shows what happens when I select 'Save As' in the File menu. I'm only able to see the bottom of said white 'Save As' window yet the field where I would name the file is blocked by the Toolbar. I have no choice at this point (that I know of) other than to drag the Toolbar down far enough that I can see and complete the 'Save As' operation. I want to get the Toolbar 'locked' or set back into the topmost position it was in when I first began learning/using Designer this past January. I've also attached a thumbnail of my Affinity Photo studio UI showing its Toolbar in said position. Last thing - in addition to the above, I am no longer able to see the names of currently open document/file names that I had just recently been working on. They formerly would appear by name with an 'x' just to the left of each doc name, nestled snugly up against the bottom edge of the Context Toolbar. I'm stumped. Thanks for any and direction/help. -Christo
