To change the color of a shape, double-click the shape layer's thumbnail in the Layers panel, and choose a different color using the Color
Picker.
To fill a shape with a pattern or gradient, select the shape layer in the Layers panel and choose Layer > Layer Style > Gradient Overlay.
To change stroke width, select the shape layer in the Layers panel, and choose Layer >Layer Style > Stroke.
To modify the outline of a shape, click the shape layer's vector mask thumbnail in the Layers panel or Paths panel. Then change the shape
using the Direct Selection and pen tools.
