Layer coloring

[neilsolent]

Simple question (I think!)

How can I create a simple solid square so that the whole shape (not
just the outlining edge) changes color when I assign the shape to a
layer with an enforced color?

thanks,
Neil

Unfortunately the layer color controls the line and text color, any
shape fill color is overridden and set to white.

OK makes sense. Workaround - just use very thick lines

That certainly works ! You end up with a shape somewhat larger than
expected but I suppose that can still work.

Actually, If you fill with a pattern, then the pattern will also take on the
layer color....

Yes you are right - that is another option
Not ideal for my purposes as it happens - but thanks .
