The color line
The Color Line is displayed at the bottom of the window. It shows you the current fill and line colors,
provides access to the color editor and provides a palette of pre-defined colors including a special "no
color".
Color swatch:
The outer part of the color swatch on the left-hand end of the Color Line shows the line color and the
center shows the fill color. These are the colors of any selected objects, otherwise the current color
attributes.
This button provides access to the color editor
Color picker: Use the eye-dropper to pick a color from any part of the document or any part of the
computer screen. See Using the eye-dropper to pick colors
for details.
No color:
Clicking this applies a "no color fill". Shift-clicking applies "no color" to a line. Note that this is not the
same as 100% transparent. "No color" and transparency are different. A shape with transparency
applied remains a solid shape whereas a shape filled with "no color" is effectively hollow.
If the length of the Color Line extends the window, you can scroll through the Color Line with the scroll
bar below or by "Alt + dragging" the Color Line.
MAGIX Xtreme Print Studio provides several options for the displayed size of the Color Line (described
in Customizing Xtreme Print Studio).
If you do not want to display a Color Line, deselect Window -> Bars -> Color line
.

If the selected object is a bitmap, the fill and line color options are replaced with Set contone dark
color / Set contone light color.

When right clicking the "no color" swatch, the fill and line color options are replaced by: Clear fill color /
Clear line color
. This sets the selected object's relative attributes to "no color".
