Revert old color behaviour without popup

[MarcT]

Hi,

When you click on a color there’s a popup asking you which color you wish to change (when there’s gradients or more than one color.)
Is there anyway to restore the old behaviour that When you clicked on a color it just changed the color as a whole.

Popup windows in programs disturbs the workflow, especially on such a commonly used function.

I think this is what you are looking for. So when you click on a color you don't get a pop-up menu.

HI Gary,

Thanks but that's not what I meant, although right clickingg for line color is definitely one of the best productivity innovation of Xara!

I was referring to this popup :

Ah yes. I have gone back to v 12 and this does not seem to be appearing but it was in v 15. I am not fond of those pop-ups.

i think xareg only changes the colour bar and not the popup marc is referring to, but I could be wrong

So, what's wrong with this pop-up?

Surely it's just a matter of 'Replace' or 'Replace All'. Am I missing something?

OK This has always bugged me in the past but I kind of see the logic to it. If you have something selected that has an outline, and a gradient fill, and you click a color on the color line, you get this dialog. Which makes sense because you have several colors. Same if you try to left click on the hatched box to remove all color.

But if you have a multi-color gradient fill, then this can be a PITA.

I'm on the fence on this one.

I agree it's sometimes annoying but all in all I find it a very useful feature.
