Changing the colors in a fill

After creating a fill you can easily change the start and end colors.

To change the colors in a fill

Simply drag a color from the Color Line or the Color Gallery onto the filled object. When over the object, the shape of the mouse pointer shows whether the color will be applied to the start or end of the fill:

Dropping the color will apply it to the start of the fill

Dropping the color will apply it to the end of the fill

Tips

You can also apply colors direct to the fill handles. Click on a fill handle to select it and then either:

click on a color on the Color Line,

or double-click a color in the Color Gallery,

or select a color in the Color Gallery and click Apply.

Caution: if there are no fill handles selected, these methods create a flat fill.

If you have several objects selected, you can select all fill handles of a particular type (for example all end handles) by CTRL+Shift-clicking on one of the handles. Use Shift-click to deselect a handle or select an unselected handle.
