Pannonia Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Coming from my former graphics software, I am very used to: leftclick on a swatch changes fill color of selected object rightclick on a swatch changes line color of selected object Leftclick works of course, but I have not found an easy way to change line color yet. Is there a way to change it to the way I am used to? Or what is the next-best way to change linecolor? Going to the swatches pallet, switching to stroke color, then changing the color is really tiresome. Aammppaa and daltom 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still would like my known behaviour back, just left-/rightclick. Is there any way this is possible in AD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pannonia Posted June 26, 2018 Author Share Posted June 26, 2018 Thanks, at least now I know: 1) I am not alone with this 2) Serif does not give a damn about it for at least two years, so I am not holding my breath. Also no named colors it seems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aammppaa Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Fingers crossed that Serif will do some work on improving the UI in forthcoming versions. -- What do you mean by Named Colours? You can make your own swatch and name the colours within it. Or perhaps you mean Global Colours?

But I found it endlessly complicated to define and change them. The whole color selection system of AD is really really bad compared to Xara Designer or Photoshop In Xara I can create, name and change colors, strokes and fills without ever having to open or change between "Color" "Swatches" and "Stroke" or any other pallette. I find it very, very intuitive and fast. In AD it is way more complicated and counterintuitive. daltom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
