How to Hide Text Frame Selection While Adjusting Color in InDesign?

Hi Everyone,
Sorry for the delay, I wasn't able to get back to my computer.

So, I’ve included a screen grab. The frame here is red of course. I want to be able to change the colour of the text using sliders that update in real time, so that as I move the sliders, the colour of the text changes without there being a box around the text because that hampers my ability to clearly appraise the new colours.

I selecting the text frame, then go to the colour window, and change the sliders. However, the text frame is still highlighted. I imagine that it’s a normal occurrence to want to change text and be able to see the results in real time, and that it is also considered normal to be able to do so with the frame not being outlined / highlighted … because why not?

How would I see the colour changes in real time without being distracted by the frame?
Thanks!

Thing is that there’s a lurid green box with lots of little white boxes attached, showing that the text frame is selected, that puts me off choosing the colour I want.

As noted, screen shots eliminate the guessing. That said, I’ll play.

     I’m guessing your layer color is set to a lurid green, which is also the color of the bounding box defining the frame boundaries.

     You can change the layer color in Window > Layers. The white boxes are used to resize the frame.

If you use paragraph and character styles, you won’t have to select the text to change the color (after first applying the style).

Otherwise, please show some screen captures.

With the frame selected, press the j key on your keyboard. That should set the swatches and color panels to adjust the text color only. Other than that, you’ll need to provide screenshots and full system specs.
