Change color of multiple layers

[Budd]

In Design 2 can the color of multiple layers, in a group, be changed without changing each layer individually?

[Old Bruce]

Yes, it works the same as in version 1. Select the layers in the Layers panel or on the canvas and change the colour.

[Budd]

Thanks. You would think that's the case but it doesn't work.  As soon as more than one layer is selected the option to change colors disappears. What am I doing wrong?

[Old Bruce]

Are we talking about the colours in the Layers panel? The so called Tag colour? Are these perhaps a mix of image, pixel and vector layers in groups?

[Budd]

No, the displayed colors of the objects.

[Old Bruce]

Try using the Move tool, the black arrowhead, once you have made your selections.

[Budd]

Yep, using the move tool.

[Old Bruce]

Can you post a screenshot of the Layers panel then? I am at a loss as to why you can't do this.

[Budd]

I think there's a disconnect between the 'color' and the stroke color. Can the stroke color be changed in multiple layers?

Works here on Mac.
