You can search for info here or post new questions and comments at I am having an issue, I have a flower and I want the middle design (It is transparent) to be a different color, so I am trying to make a square, move it behind the flower and hoping that it fills in the transparent parts, which it does. But the issue is, the square makes the parts of the flower that aren't transparent a darker color.
How do I fix this?

Re: Issue with an object behind one?
Seems the other elements have some transparency. You might check them in the status bar or fill-stroke panel.
Can you upload the svg file?

Re: Issue with an object behind one?
Well, quick question; how do I upload SVG? I use Imgur, but it can't upload SVG files, so I tried using dropbox, but still have no clue how to upload them..
So, may you explain it please? I'm new here. Haha (:

Re: Issue with an object behind one?
SVG files can be attached to a post: "upload attachment" tool below the reply textarea.
Add a file to dropbox using the Upload icon in the Files directory.
Linking to a dropbox file is also done by clicking the "share" button in the dropbox file manager copying the link and pasting into the forum post.
Examples:
Link from dropbox:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/gx9vrr2e0drqx ... r.svg?dl=0

Re: Issue with an object behind one?
Seems you have a bitmap embedded in an SVG file.
Whilst Inkscape can import and embed bitmap (raster) images as objects, most drawing and compositing is done in Inkscape using vector objects.
You might want to trace or recreate the elements in the picture using the vector drawing tools and proceed with all the advantages vector art provides.

Oh wow, thank you so much! I think I did that when I was first playing around with Inkscape. Thanks so much!
