change ink pot color

Dear Community,

I'd like to change the color of the ink pot in the sketch panel.
I guess I have to edit it and type a new script's command.
But how do I transform the color into the code thats needed?


Another problem:
For my classical animation I have one level with a thicker outline than the others.
Is there a way to thin the line afterwards and maybe antialiasing it if necessary?

Thanks,
Vera

Hi Vera,

You cannot change the colour of the ink pot in the sketch panel (because all those tools are somehow link together). But you can simply select the alpha mode (the grey half square next to the proxy), use the filled stroke with the color you want and when you will apply a color : it will change the line colors.

About the line : "FX" => "Stylize" => "Erode"

:D

Yes :

1) Click on the Preserve Alpha button (the half grey square, next to the Proxy => it becomes yellow)
2) Go on the layer with the lines and select all your frames
3) Take the filled stroke (or the filled rectangle) into the Main Panel and choose your color
4) Draw a filled stroke or filled rectangle on the whole drawing space, then press "Enter"
5) Your line will be modified on the entire layer

:D

You can also use the FX Color > Color Replacer
