Colour picker is confusing (macOS)


Recommended Posts

Here is how i understood it, the hotkey "I" for colour-picking, it's only for fill colour, it does not apply to stroke colour. Because every time I try to colour-pick a colour for a stroke, it just changes it to fill.

Also, inside of the stroke configuration panel, there is a colour picker icon, but when I press "I", nothing happens. What's the issue here?

And does that colour-picker icon always look that small?

Welcome to the forums @karl_

The keyboard shortcut “I” is for the Colour Picker in the Tools, not the other colour pickers dotted around the UI, which is why it doesn’t work for them.
If you want to use the Colour Picker to set the Stroke colour then you need to set the Stroke/Fill control – either in the Tools or the Colour Panel or the Swatches Panel – to the Stroke setting, see attached video.
Doe this clear things up?
