naychrist Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Hi all, I am using text frames for the first time. After looking up how to change the background colour it appears I should be able to find a Text Frame studio panel. This is not in the list of options in View > Studio and I can't find it anywhere else or any other way to change the background colour. I have tried resetting the studio and restarting the application. Any advice? I am running latest designer 1.8.4 on OSX 10.15.6 Cheers, nay.

carl123 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 The Text Frame studio is only in Publisher In Designer, you can put a colored rectangle behind the text to create the same effect Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulEC Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 If you don't have the Text Frame panel showing, you can open it by: "View", Studio", "Text Frame".

If you're in Publisher, you should find it in the View menu, under View > Studio: And if you have it, then look in all the panels and see if it might be abbreviated as Frm. If that doesn't work, try View > Studio > Reset Studio. Finally, make sure you're in the Publisher Persona.

Dnis Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Thanks Walt and Paul. The menu entry "Text Frame" appears to be ticked, but the Text Frame is nowhere. Good news is that it appeared once I restarted Publisher. Not what I expected, but solved. Thanks again! Denis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratatat Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Hello there, I'm having the same problem – in Affinity photo. My text box has ba ackground colour that I can't edit – the text frame panel is missing. Any ideas? I'm on 1.9.3 on the latest MacOS. Thanks!

Staff MEB Posted July 27, 2021 Staff Share Posted July 27, 2021 Hi @ratatat, Welcome to Affinity Forums The Text Frame panel is only available in Publisher. What you can do is reset that text frame to its default state to remove the background colour. With the text frame selected go to menu Edit > Defaults > Revert.
