Frame text: Change attributes of the frame container?

[Pinnochio]

[AD 1.7.0.184 beta Windows]

How can I select and change the attributes (color, conture) of the object "frame text"?  (I mean not the text in the frame)?

My text frame has a fine gray frame. How can I make this frame invisible?

Hi Pinnochio,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
Go to menu View ▸ Studio ▸ Text Frame.

Where in the studio (German) is the entry "text frame"?

Hi Pinnochio,
My mistake. I thought you were working in Publisher, sorry. In Affinity Designer this is not possible. Can you attach the file with the text frame that contains the thin stroke please? You can delete all the rest. Thanks.

I don't think you can do this directly in ADesigner but there are workarounds. Copy the object and then Edit/Paste Special/PDF. This breaks up the object so each can be edited separately. Or you could copy & paste to APublisher, make changes with the Text Frame panel, then copy & paste from Publisher back to ADesigner.

Can you please show the icon in the content toolbar with a screenshot? Unfortunately, I can not discover it.

Hi Pinnochio,
My previous reply was wrong. This can't be done directly in Affinity Designer. The background fill colour and stroke colour/width for text boxes can only be set in Affinity Publisher.

Please add this essential function in AD:

- Background fill colour and stroke colour/width for text boxes.

- Convert text frame back to vector object

Thanks for your support.
