Tutorial 1 The Motion Interface 23
The Dashboard for the upper green box object appears.
In addition to the Opacity and Blend Mode parameters, the shape Dashboard also
contains color settings for the Fill and Outline of the shape. You can also enable and
disable a drop shadow. By default, the Outline and Drop Shadow parameters are disabled.
3 Use the color well in the Dashboard to change the color of a shape. There are two color
picker options that are accessed in slightly different ways.
Note: All color wells in Motion work the same way, whether they appear in the
Dashboard or the Inspector.
To use the pop-up color palette to change the color of a shape:
1 In the Dashboard, Control-click the color well for the Fill parameter (and hold down the
mouse button).
A pop-up color palette appears.
2 Drag in the color spectrum to select a color.
The original color is displayed in the upper color well, and the new color is displayed in
the lower color well. As you drag, the color of the shape is immediately updated in the
Canvas.
3 When you have selected the color you want, release the mouse button.
