James.W Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Hi I'm trying to get white text on a black background. When I change the color too white and place a black background on a layer below it I get white text box instead of just white text. How do I fix this? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM1 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Did you import the text? If so there is a bug that results in background text colour being imported to. Unfortunately iPad does not have a a Control to change text background colour as the desktop does (though this has been requested). In the interim you may be able to achieve the desired effect by using different blend modes. Hopefully mods will have an update on status of this bug.

Staff Dan C Posted August 21, 2019 Staff Share Posted August 21, 2019 Hi James.W, Welcome to the forums As DM1 has mentioned, there's currently no option to change the background colour of imported text, however you could try creating a text object with no background colour, then paste your text into a different text object. Select the first and copy it, then select the pasted text object with the white background, navigate to the Edit menu and select Paste Style. This will replace the style of your pasted text with the default text style - meaning there is no background colour visible. Unfortunately there's no further update on the development log, however I have included your report there so this thread should be updated in due course - I hope this helps!
