Textbox customise background fill

[scottjm]

I would love the ability to the be able to change the default background fill of a textbox to any fill. 

The most common usage I have wanted it for is apply a 25% fill to a textbox.  The current workaround is to add a separate fill behind the textbox.

Yes, so we can have a semi transparent fill rather than solid or fully transparent.

This is a must, graphisoft!

I support it but I found out that you can achieve it with a Graphic Override, @scottjm! No need for separate fills or other time consuming workarounds.

Omg! I’d never thought of that! Gonna give that a go. I guess that would be an all or nothing setting per GO, but I guess that’s better than nothing.

It is all or nothing, but if you are using 27 or newer, you could create a option status for the ones you want to override, as that is available to adjust for text..So it would give you a hair more of a control.
