The short version is that by default, Inkscape applies whatever object you draw with the style of the last object you drew. To save yourself some headaches, read this: Customize Your Inkscape Tools I think that's what you're seeing, a partial transparency. Thank you.Īs far as I remember from when I installed Inkscape for the first time, all the shapes automatically were partially transparent. Help if you have the answer to my problem. But if that is the case I don't know how to correct it. One other thing I noticed is that the swatch docked window on the right shows a dark red X, and the only color available there is 'none.' I can only pick color from the swatch bar across the bottom of the screen.Ī guess I have is that my color space is not set up correctly. The letter 'f' to the left is also supposed to be assigned the color 'black.' The black spot I was dragging is in the middle of the picture below, and the grey color of the block is the result of dropping the black spot on it. I did a screen capture of me drawing the color black to an object to assign the color. In the last hour I uninstalled my 64-bit version and installed the 32-bit version but the problem still remains. I tried Googling to see if I found anybody else with similar problems but only found one related issue that someone said installing the 32-bit Windows version may fix this problem.


Particularly noticeable is when I select black the color on my object turned out grey. I soon noticed that when I assign a color to an object the color turned out lighter than the color I picked.

Yesterday I installed the 64-bit Windows version of Inkscape on my PC running Windows 10 and today I tried making a drawing with the tool.
