Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When adding a text box, in order to create a solid background / border for it, to make it more readable and apparent, you have to first manually create a rectangle and then draw the text on it.

Describe the solution you'd like
The solution to that problem would be to allow the user to change the background color of the text, similar to any text editing tool. Additionally, to make the text more apparent, ability to create borders around the text rectangle, would be an useful feature.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I think background color is enough, the border is just an addition, but I'd consider the background color to be a must have, and it's really difficult to work without it.
