Using adobe express how do you change the background color of text?

[Innersight]

I am very frustrated.   I have a title in adobe express that has a red background behind the text.   How do I simply change the red background color ?   I can edit and change every element but I can't seem to figure out how to change the background color for the title text.

If you add more text to that text box, does the red rectangle grow as well? If so, then check the "Shape" option at the bottom of the Text panel when that box is selected.

 

If that rectangle doesn't grow, select the rectangle via the layers list on the right and then change the fill color.

Stephen thank you.  It was the shapes option.

The shape grows if i change the text. But i can't find the shape-fill options. Where do i need to click?

Hi @Pascal_Thong1230

You'll want to go to the effects section at the top and you'll see the shape option towards the bottom of the tab

Hope that helps,
