Title: Unable to set FILL
Post by: patternproject on September 02, 2017, 03:12:52 AM

Hi,

I am using layers to build a slide. The problematic "star" is on the top-most layer, with opacity set to 100%. But somehow I am unable to set the fill, although the stroke works fine.

Already search the internet, despite being great the following did not help.

A screenshot is attached for review.


Thanks a lot.

Hi.

That screenshot shows your fill has 0 alpha value. Set the slider back to 255 in the fill&stroke panel (Shift+Ctrl+F) and it "should" work as expected.

For future reference, this might help identify transparency issues such as you have here:  https://forum.inkscapecommunity.com/index.php?action=articles;sa=view;article=18

Yes - raising the ALPHA values solves it.


Thanks.
