Title: Border to rectangle is invisible. Plz help.
Post by: kdeuler on November 28, 2016, 12:33:14 PM

Hi. Basic question.....  Please see that attached screenshot.  I can't seem to get the border to the square to be visible. I've made it the border wide enough (20 px), and choosen a random color. But the border continues to be invisible. Plz assist!

Thanks!

Welcome aboard!

Raise the alpha slider from 0 to 255.
