Kudo CollectorDisable selection of a visual
Kudo CollectorThanks for the reply, however this is not a solution - you can send the element to back but the user can (incidentally or not) select it and this brings the element to front.
Tsanka Yeah, I like your idea, and I agree you should have more control over the shapes as permanent background pieces.
You can do a couple things now to get "close" to what you want.
You could make the shape, and have the "top" visual cover it completely. That way the user can't click on it.
Use the new BackGround color formatting to change the entire page color. (Click on any part of the page (not visual) and click the paintbrush. you may already know about this.
Other than that, submit an idea - I'd vote for it.

Hey guys,
I also like the idea. Especially in reading mode it should not be possible to select the text boxes / rectangels etc. at all. You got my Vote! ;-)

Yes, now you can achieve this by setting the visual header options

I don't see this anywhere in the article you cited. There does not appear to be a visual header setting that would make the shape unclickable. Can you be more specific?
