I've seen several questions on this topic but the solutions don't work. I am simply trying to change the background colour on a container that's currently transparent. I am in the 2015.1 version

 

What I've tried

 

1) Drop down within the container - apparently this was moved in earlier versions

2) Select the container so that it turns blue and then use the "Layout" pane. - There is nothing in the format pane other than the name of the container. See below

 

Surely some simple formatting shouldn't be taking me hours to figure out? Where has the formatting moved to?

    Place the cursor on the thin line between "Horizontal Container" and "Item Hierarchy" in your layout pane, and drag it down. All the layout settings are hidden there.
