keithsayers Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Hi. There doesn't seem to be a way of adding borders or margins to text frames as in Page Plus, will this be added in future or will we just have to put the frame in a box?

benjaminduall Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Did take me a lot of time to find this one too. I find this UI confusing and inconsistent ("picture frame" properties for example are adapted in the bar on top). Colour should be treated like in Indesign (a switch button for frame/text for example). It is very confusing that you can edit the colour of objects in very different places. This can be double (as well in the colour palette as in in the textframe palette) but it should always be editable in the colour palette.

StuartRc Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 The options do exist it is attached to the fill tool There is a switch button on the context bar for Frame/Text but you have to select the Fill Tool (G) to display it... You have the combined options to switch between Fill+Stroke and Frame+Text (+Colour Type) Swatch Panel affects the colour of text/content inside a text box Text Frame panel controls only the frame Quote Affinity Version 1 (10.6) Affinity Version 2.4.2 All (Designer | Photo | Publisher) Beta; 2.5 2.2402 OS:Windows 10 Pro 22H2 OS Build 19045.4046+ Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19053.1000.0 Rig:AMD FX 8350 and AMD Radeon (R9 380 Series) Settings Version 21.04.01 Radeon Settings Version 2020 20.1.03) + Wacom Intuous 4M with driver 6.3.41-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
