NCS Wall Label 24 - Leader cut line colour

Hello ALL,
Could anyone help me find the setting that would make the leader line a solid fill colour other than white?
I am guessing this is in the GDL settings.

Fooling around with the settings, it looks like it is the Pointer pen: Label Settings > Pointer > Line Pen.

Hello David,

The line Pen setting only affects the box around the text and the thin leader when the 'Leader Cut Line' is set to thick and is a 'white' colour. It looks like a white fill, it is this fill I would like to change to another colour.
Or maybe I'm missing something here.

With the Text Background on (set to opaque), the thick leader is using the Text Fill Pen. If you have set it to a white pen, try using the Window Background pen (-1), which will give the text an opaque background, but use the pointer pen for the frame and leader.
