Gloryfighter Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Hey there, I've just started to use Affinity Designer. After Creating a Text Frame the background color of this appears in grey. How can I change this background color of the Text Frame (not the Text Color) ? Thank you, Manuel Seitz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloryfighter Posted April 3, 2020 Author Share Posted April 3, 2020 Hello there, I just started to use Affinity Designer. I inserted a Text Frame with the Text Frame Tool. The Background of this Text Frame now appears in light grey and the Text inside in black. How can I change the so to speak background color of the Text Frame ? Thank you, Manu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pšenda Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Default is text with transparent background. Have you changed it in the Character panel? (second color rectangle).

GarryP Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I’ve not seen this before but it’s the second thread created in the last day that I have seen which mentions this. Which version of Designer are you using and on which OS? Does the grey colour fill the whole frame or is it just behind where the text is? Have you tried using the Revert Defaults button on the Toolbar? Gloryfighter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted April 4, 2020 Staff Share Posted April 4, 2020 @Gloryfighter Welcome to the forums I have merged your 2 threads as they appear to be similar, I suspect following Garry's suggestion of using the Revert Defaults option will resolve this for you - Gloryfighter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloryfighter Posted June 15, 2020 Author Share Posted June 15, 2020 Thank you guys. I couldn't test it because the file does no longer exist. As a workaround for me worked: Creating a new document (which oddly didn't have the "problem") and copy and paste my work to there and I continued to work in the new file.
