snizl reacted to Old Bruce in Affinity designer strokes around grouped objects
Do not Group them use the Layer > Geometry > Add while holding down the Alt/Option key. This will create a Compound 'group'. Now when you add or edit the stroke it will only go on the outline.
Also you can use the Toolbar's Boolean icons while holding down the Option/Alt key.

You may want to use the Scale with object check box in the Stroke panel.
Now when you drag the bounding box the stroke will increase in size/width too.

snizl reacted to MEB in Affinity Designer colour picker giving wrong colour
Hi snizl,
The issue is caused by the 50% opacity applied to the fill colour of both objects. When you copy the colour from the left object it copies the colour value it sees on screen - a medium grey taking the opacity value applied to the fill colour in consideration already (the original colour of this object with 100% opacity is quite darker). When you "paste" the medium grey colour on the right object the colour is pasted correctly (with the same values) but since this object also has 50% colour opacity applied (which is kept as an attribute) the pasted colour appears immediately even lighter. If you set the Fill colour opacity of the object on the right back to 100% you will see it matches the fill colour picked from the left object. See the attached clip it may help to understand:
Why not simply apply the grey you want directly to the fill colour of both objects without changing the colour opacity?
Note: The colour opacity is the value set on the bottom slider of the Colour panel (if it says Noise for you click the small colour well below it to switch to Opacity). Do not confuse Colour opacity with Layer opacity which is set on the top of the Layers panel.

snizl got a reaction from walt.farrell in Adjusting text properties in multiple text boxes
Thank you, it works.
My two key problems were: I selected the artistic, instead of the frame text tool AND my text was already grouped. This does not work if one selects just the groups, they have to be individual text boxes.

Easiest way may be to select them all in the Layers panel. Then, with the Frame Text Tool selected, any changes you make to the font or font size in the Context Toolbar should affect all of them.
Alternatively you could click on one in the document itself, then shift-click on each of the others to add them to the selection.
