Can't add fill to boxes

Postby EsotericForest » Sat Jun 05, 2010 1:04 pm

I'm really not sure what happened, since everything was working perfectly fine before. But now when I go to create a box, and I open the fill and stroke panel, I can't add a solid fill to the square I created. I have a screenshot to show you the problem a bit better. In the lower left corner I noticed that half the fill box is shown as being transparent, and I'm not sure why.

You must have lowered the Alpha value for fill. Open the Fill and Stroke dialogue (Fill tab) and move the A markers all the way to the right.
