Hi, I just wanted to add some text to one screen and considered the label component as the only option. However, I do not know how to remove the border of the label, which does not make it look. Is there an option, and if not, what else could I do to just insert text? Thanks! ![136829001_166646581873588_501703363399123247_n (1)](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/0/a/0a0ba6b2be20a9de6883eccad54ffd3fe1cb2bf4.jpeg) ---

Hi @lukas_b_98knm, I don’t think this is the default appearance for the label. Which properties are you using? Can you set the border color to transparent? Thanks. ---

@domhnallohanlon, The glowing effect occurs on Android devices when a label has no border but the BORDER color is set to transparent. If the BORDER color property is cancelled (x), the glow will go away. I discovered this when I had labels with borders, then I removed them. **Glow** ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/8/8/88005958312fcfb4451c3f916bbca9a13202b721.png) ![Screenshot_20210109-071503_Thunkable](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/b/0/b057e92c28e597fe6f25db3e53e407cea6afeb9f.jpeg) **No Glow** ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/7/6/76011ab87dd4d43dbad4d96ba683e0372b5c9693.png) ![Screenshot_20210109-071511_Thunkable](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/1/0/10ed6c242e8b817a1196b0d9959254f9b3b1808e.jpeg) ---

Hi, thanks for your message. I am not sure I understand. I have now changed the background colour to white but I still have a border even if it is set transparent. Could you tell me which changes are needed? ![Screenshot 2021-01-09 at 17.18.06](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/e/2/e2a6b1a0dffbf72519c74f7bf3f0dae79b595b37.png) ![Screenshot 2021-01-09 at 17.18.33](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/e/a/ea5d43b6e8c3337639f240f591a36fa143ef0bb8.png) ---

Change the BORDER color. Use the x to clear it ---

I cleared it, but there it still has the same borders above. ![Screenshot 2021-01-09 at 18.08.59](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/6/2/620f40c59e333794a290a363bca6565424bc65c3.png) ---

Interesting. I did some additional testing and found that if there is a background color, the glow also occurs. Try clearing the background color in the same way. ---
