How to change colors in shapes?

Thu Jul 19, 2012 11:41 am
Hello,
These days I'm trying Krita (and Calligra Suite, for what it matters) for the very first time after a very long time (I played only with the early versions).

I've edited an image in Krita, added an arrow from the available shapes to point out an interesting detail of the image, but can't figure how to change its colours. :-(
Really: I see how to rotate, change size and proportions, but really can't find a way to change the default red fill color and black border color!
I feel quite dumb. :'(
Any suggestions? Hot to change colors of shapes in Krita?

Hi Gerlos,

This part of krita does need quite a bit of usability tweaking, I am afraid. In order to change the colors of a vector shape, you need to make the Stroke and Fill docker visible, select the shape and then select a fill. Doing so might require a bit of tweaking, it's definitely not straightforward yet.

The ability to change shape colors is still not intuitive. As far as I can determine, the shape color needs to be determined before drawing the shape.

Yes? That's what I said, wasn't it?
