can't set color to frame

I am trying to give my frame  a color like you do (11.23sec) but all I get is a standard Line....

Any advice or idea what that could be? 

Thank you very much

Martin

    Make sure you have the Color box checked?

    Indeed it is

    also in  the Preferences I couldn't find anything wrong 😪

    It must be a theme setting then. Check in your User Preferences > Theme > Node Editor > Frame Node

    Make sure the A (alpha) setting is not set to 0. If it is it means it will always be 100% transparent. The default alpha value is 0.8.
