@Rik, thank you. You have started to experiment.
You might have just dragged and dropped a colour form the Colour Bar.
Developing on this start, how might you change the colour of just the bar or even just one of the circles, fill or line?
The Challenge was more than just this: how to change the shape of the blobs...

handrawn, this is why I raised the Challenge: to raise Xara's game and make others aware of the poor provision Xara is offering.
I would be hard pressed to use this Timeline construct as "gloried bullets points".
Again, my Challenge emphasis was on a frieze as that is about all I can make with Timeline 01.
I want others to discover their own uses for the SmartShape, perhaps in part to redeem Xara for creating a pointless artefact.
Xara is acting like the Roman emperor throwing bread to the masses during the games at the Coliseum; pretty stale bread though.

I admire your intent...
thing is though, to twist aesop in a different direction, xara can only cry wolf for so long before people realise there is really nothing, well lets say not much, there

Rik, you are 85% there.
Before I do the big reveal, you are aware that when you change one blob's colour, then the End position control simply clones that blob.
For the image you have here, you can make red blobs and blue blobs but green blobs would have to be by hand.
As you have discovered the Page & Layer gallery is the clever part.
Select a blob there and then change the Tool to the Shape Tool and experiment.
Also with the Selector Tool, what can you do with the controls and meta-keys?
