"New" Acrobat Text Box Fill

Good day!

Just updated to the most recent version of Adobe Acrobat Pro, which has changed the look and features quite drastically. There is the option to "Disable New Acrobat", but I'm hoping to learn how to use the new features rather than disrgard them. Part of my work flow utilizes the "Add Text" feature through the Edit Tool. Prior to the update, we had the option to add borders, fill color and opacity to the text box. I've tried using the "Ctrl+E" to open the box properties, but that command is no longer supported in the new update. 

What I'm trying to do is create a text box that I can type in that covers the text/images behind it. The "Send to front/Send to back" is not covering the other text/images.

Any solutions would be much appreciated! Thank you in advance!
