This should be a RTFM question, but since Icon doesn't have a manual...
I can't figure out how to put down black text with a gray background.
It seems that no matter what I do, the background is always white.
I have also been able to put down text with no background.
My question:  Is there anyway to change the background color on 
opaque text?
