1. Click any color box.
The color pop-up window opens, and the pointer changes to an eyedropper.

Click anywhere in the Fireworks workspace to select a color for the color box.

Working with strokes

Using the Property inspector, the Stroke Options pop-up menu, and the Edit Stroke dialog
box, you can have full control of every brush nuance, including ink amount, tip size and
shape, texture, edge effect, and aspect.

Applying strokes

You can change the stroke attributes of the Pen, Pencil, and Brush tools so that the next vector
object you draw has the new stroke attributes, or you can apply stroke attributes to an object
or path after you draw it.
The current stroke color appears in the Stroke Color box in the Tools panel, the Property
inspector, and the Color Mixer. You can change the stroke color of a drawing tool or selected
object from any of these three panels.
The pencil icon indicates the Stroke Color box in the Tools panel, the Property inspector, and the
Color Mixer.
