Colour of arrow head

Postby Myrkes » Thu Mar 27, 2008 2:57 am

Hello everyone,

I want to draw arrows in inkscape using the connector tool :tool_connector: . After drawing the line I simply add an arrow head at the end of the line. But when I use the colour tool to colour my arrow, it only affects the line, not the head leading to a two-coloured arrow.

So, I would be very happy if anoyone can tell me how to colour my arrow head also.

Thank you very much for your answers.

This is a known problem (bug 165865). The first comment there suggests a work-around.

For the windows version, use "extensions" instead of "effects" and everything works the same.

The "extensions"vs "effects" isn't a windows issue, the effects were renamed to extensions in version 0.47 (on all platforms).
