Color setting priority in LO Draw

Draw 7.4 for Windows 11 offers various ways to set colors for lines. These include:

  • Line Color in the Drawing toolbar

  • Line Color in the Line and Filling Toolbar

  • Line Color in the Properties deck of the Sidebar

  • Color in the Line tab of the Line dialog accessed from the Properties deck of the Sidebar

  • Color in the Line tab of the Line dialog accessed by clicking on the Line Width icon in the Drawing toolbar

  • Color in the Line tab of the Graphic Styles Object without fill dialog accessed by selecting Edit Style in the context menu after right clicking on a line or from the Styles deck of the Sidebar

I assume the first three or four ways are direct formatting that take precedence over the style setting.

However, the first three or four ways don’t appear to set the color in the same way. When you set one of these, it certainly doesn’t change the color of the setting displayed in the others.

Does anyone know where these setting and their priority are explained?

That’s right.

However, the first three or four ways don’t appear to set the color in the same way.

I think they are identical. The problem lies in the updating of the color display.
Click the small arrow next to each color choice and you will see that the correct color is highlighted in the color palette.
