fills and strokes in the contour tool are missing

[Ardi]

Has anyone ever experienced something like this?

I can't find the fill and stroke in the contour tool, I've gone to affinity.help but can't find the answer.
If anyone knows, please let me know.

Thank you.

Welcome to the forums @Ardi

The Contour Tool doesn’t have Fill or Stroke options, it’s just for changing the geometry of a shape.
To change the Fill/Stroke of the shape you can use the normal Colour/Stroke/Swatches/etc. functionality (top-right of your screenshot).

Thank you @GarryP

Okay I see, I think it has a different function than the fill and stroke contour tool because in some video tutorials there is a fill and stroke in the contour tool, is this part of the affinity designer 1.9.1 update?

It does in AD 1.9.1 on macOS.

Interesting.
Apparently this has already been noted as an issue, see the last post in this thread: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/124051-contour-tool-with-gradient-is-awkward-to-use/
