How to directly edit linear fill end color?

[Contours]

there is no need to have such a long fill path arrow.

True, but I get those because of the simplistic way Xara handles linear fills (always assumes white as the start color). I drag to get the start color I want. It might not be the "best" way, but it is the quickest. If Xara prompted for Start Color and End Color, the long arrows would never have been in the picture. If I've missed some other method, I'd sure like to hear of it. But the suggested Tab Method is a great improvement over what I've been doing.

Thanks for the responses.
