jonathanrwolff Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Only two months into using Affinity Designer here. Starting at some point through the progress of my project, any time I create and type new Artistic Text, a purple highlight appears behind it. I don't remember messing with any settings to make it appear. I've tried to look very carefully at the color options on the Artistic Text object but I can't find anything. What am I missing? This hasn't happened to me during other projects until after the 1.9 update, so there's the possibility of a bug or new feature/setting that I'm not aware of yet. I also attached what the problem looks like in Affinity Designer. The text color was intended to be white, and the color shows as white in the Color tab.

Perhaps - Character Settings, Background Color If you can't find the Character settings, try View->Studio->Character Quote Intel i7-10700 Gen10 CPU, 32GB RAM, Geforce GTX 1660 OC 6GB Windows 10 Pro 22H2, 1x 1TB M.2 NVMe, 1 x 2TB M.2 NVMe.

It looks like the background color on the Artistic Text is actually already set to None in the Character panel, but that purple background is still there. The attached screenshot shows the result of me changing that background color from None to an actual selected color. Also, if I change it back to None from that red for example, it goes back to having that purple background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl123 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 What you have on your original post is Text Frame background colour (fill) which is a Publisher function. Whilst in Designer select the text frame then use the Revert Details button in the top Toolbar (looks like a cloud with a red line through it) to see if that cures it. If not, use Edit > Defaults > Factory Reset jonathanrwolff and mhgd 2 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...
