DanH Posted May 24, 2023 Posted May 24, 2023 Three times now a Text Frame created in Photo 2 has had a background color. Two examples shown, along with the original files they appear in. I don’t know how to reproduce it. Using: iOS 15.4, Photo 2 version 2.1.0 This recently happened another time, but the background was green. I used Publisher to clear it, since that is where there are UI controls for altering the background color. … Now may be a good time to request further unification of the UI between apps: Background color in the Text Panel in all the apps. I’ll stop there, to keep on topic. You may argue Frame Text background color is a feature set difference between apps. Maybe (maybe) the background color of Frame Text is a legitimate separate Publisher-only feature—but not when a bug makes it appear in Photo and I have to use Publisher to clear it. Frame Text — Blue.afphoto Frame Text — Gray.afphoto Quote
Staff MEB Posted May 24, 2023 Staff Posted May 24, 2023 Hi @DanH, Welcome to Affinity Forums This is a known issue we are aware off. I will pass your feedback to the dev team. I agree these text frame options should be in all apps of the suite. DM1 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software
swrites Posted June 22, 2023 Posted June 22, 2023 (edited) Has this been fixed? I suddenly have a red background behind every text frame I create and I can't figure out how to get rid of it?? (This is in Photo V2 on Mac) Edited June 22, 2023 by swrites Quote

True, though unless I'm missing something, you can only add a background colour to a text frame in Publisher, so assuming said text frame has come 'via' Publisher at some point in the process...
