OK. I give up. How to create a rectangle shape on a layer; actually, 3 different layers with a different colored rectangle on each layer. I've tried to add pixel layer then choose the Rectangle Tool.
(1) 1st problem is that the rectangle doesn't want to stop blinking even after I press Enter.
(2) Then if I manage to get 2 layers each with a different colored rectangle, Affinity won't let me add a 3rd layer directly above the 2nd It creates 3rd layer but inserts blank Pixel Layer between 2nd & 3rd.
Wanted my Affinity screen to look like the one in my attachment so could follow along.
