Font color in text frame

[VectorStyler]

@b77 Would this work as a global option. Change the frame color or the text color?
And if we need background color, then just use the [+] fill in the Appearance panel.

@VectorStyler Simple click would change the text color, left click add/change the
stroke color just like with regular objects and with shape text ("artistic text" in CDR),
and the 'Background Color' should be a "hardwired" setting — no need to click a
special 'Add Frame Bkgd' button IMO.

Change the text color please. It is a text object after all.

EDIT:
Idea; select with Node Tool > change background/frame?

EDIT1:
A preview Selection (text)frame and 'Hovering Sesection' would be useful in that case. Anyway, by the way.

Like this approach.

I will have to find a different way to do this. I will look into what other apps do in this case.

(By "hardwired" I mean it has a button already there but set to 'None').

In the Appearance panel, or in the Color panel?

@VectorStyler A separate 'Background color' entry & color swatch when you
expand the 'Text Frame' object with the triangle button:

@VectorStyler OK, could be that the mockup is oversimplifying
things — this background color needs to be added as content
that can accept transparency masks, effects, etc, right?
