MX

designed as a simple, limited selection of colors to apply to objects (either
by dragging on to the object or clicking).
Little markers in the color icons shows which of the named colors (if any) or palette colors have been
applied to the selected object(s).
Diamond markers show the colors used by the selected objects. A
diamond in the top-left corner indicates the fill color, in the top-right
corner indicates the line color.
Cross-shaped markers show the current color attributes if there are
no objects selected. Line color on the right, fill color on the left.
Triangular markers show the colors of a fill if you have applied one.
This works also when choosing a color with the color picker from existing objects, see Using the
eye-dropper to pick colors
. The color line markers update immediately and indicate the color of the object under the eye-dropper
as you're dragging around.
Re-ordering colors on the color line
Only named colors can be re-arranged on the Color Line. "Ctrl + drag" colors along the Color Line.
This also reorders the Color Gallery
.
