• Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) outside the Stage.
Change the stroke and fill properties of drawing objects
Select the object, and set the fill and stroke properties for the object in the Property Inspector (Window > Properties)
in the Fill & Stroke area. You can change the fill/stroke properties of legacy objects like highlight boxes and rollover
objects using the fill/stroke options in the drawing toolbar.
You can set the following stroke properties for straight lines:
• Transparency of the line
• Style of the stroke, such as dashes or dots
• Color of the stroke
• Thickness (width) of the stroke
• Arrowheads, circles, diamonds, or squares at the ends of a line
You can set the following stroke and fill properties for the other drawing objects:
• Fill color
• Gradient fill (5.5)
• Transparency of the fill color
• Style of the stroke, such as dashes or dots
• Color of the stroke
• Width of the stroke
• Gradient fill for the stroke (5.5)
• Corners of the object: You can smooth the corners of a rectangle or square to varying degrees by changing the values
for its corner radius.
To change the stroke color of object to black, and its fill color to white, click Set Stroke/Fill To Black/White in the
Drawing toolbar.
To interchange the color options set for the stroke and fill for the object, click Swap Fill/Stroke Colors.

You can also choose a gradient fill for projects’ background (Preferences > Global > Defaults > Background color).

2 In the Property Inspector, click the Stage (for slides), or the Fill (for drawing objects) box.
