Panels - Fill Properties

This panel contains fill properties of the object that is currently selected. It will show the properties of the slide background if there is no objects selected.

No fill

The selected object does not have fill effect if this fill type is set. It can make an object transparent or colorless.

Solid fill

To add color and transparency to an object, click this option and select a color by clicking the color box to open the color picker.

Gradient fill

To add a gradient fill to an object, select the Gradient fill radio box. A gradient is a gradual progression of colors and shades, usually from one color to another color, or from one shade to another shade of the same color. You finish a gradient fill setting as follows:

Select the type of gradient that you want from the Gradient fill drop menu.
Drag the arrow in the direction you want to set the gradient at in the Direction pane.
Click the Stops bar to add gradient stops. Stops are color points for the gradient. The current stop color highlighted with a blue triangle can be selected or deleted from the Stop Point control, and the opacity sets the stop transparency. Also you can move or remove gradient stops until you have a stop for each color that you want in your gradient fill.

When you customize the gradient fill, you can see the effect on your selected object.
