Something I knocked together today in response to some stuff people said on the thread about the brushes being finicky ... they are! But there's a way round it.

Thanks a lot, JA. Excellent video - much look forward to trying that.

Thanks, I can't wait to try it. It's such a pain to have to open the brush editor each time.
Nice clear video. Thanks JA.

That's a ten-star workaround on a five-star scale! Thanks!
(Too bad there is a need for it in the first place.)
And you still need to remake the brush to start with a new color - or am I still missing something here?

I watched to the end - and noted that in order to lay down a 'brown' tree trunk - you used the same 'green' brush and then changed the color to 'brown' after laying down the line.
This is the big problem I have always had with the vector brushes in xara.
I might wish to use a brush that put down the brown from the start as I said - not change it [EDIT _typo] from green after the line is made.
So then do I not need to copy/paste out the brush shapes from the line gallery [right click on brush] make them a named 'brown' and then remake the brush with all the settings as they were for the 'green'?
This would be so much easier if you could export/ import the brush settings - but as far as I know you cannot.
Your method is very good - but it will always lay down the variant of the original fill clolor - this cannot be modified within the brush itself
