How to change default shadow color?

as I recall, using the ALT key to 'select under' and therefore toggle down an object stack has been around for quite a while...

I never really thought of the shadow being as 'under'. If you know what I mean?
But, when I am trying shadows, this will make things a lot easier, for me.

All shadow types here are black.

If you have a lot of stacked objects using shadows and if they are difficult to get to using alt-click, they are also listed in the Layer Gallery and can be selected there.

Alt-click is in XDP down to version 6, which is the oldest version I have (which is when I started with XDP).

You can Ctrl click on the shadow and then apply a fill color. You can apply any of the graident fills to a soft shadow as well though in recent versions it is hard to get the fill handles to show.

Cool. Never thought of trying a gradient fill on a shadow. Off to play...

Thanks again, Gary. Only the faint center circle is the object, the rest is the shadow. Kind of fun.
