# Changing the Line Color

You can change the color of your lines and also of the borders of your rectangles, circles, and ellipses. Any line or border, regardless of thickness or style, can be changed to the color of your choice.

1. Click on the line, rectangle, circle, or ellipse to display the objectproperties.

2. Find the Line properties on the Object property page.

3. Click in the Color value field underneath Line to open the Color dialog:

4. Choose the color you want from the dialog box.

5. Click . The line will change to the color you chose.

Note:

If your display is set for 256 colors or 16 colors, your line may not change to the color you selected. This is because these settings only support solid colors for lines, and the color you selected is not a “solid.” To ensure that you have selected a solid, click and look at the Color/Solid box. If both the Color and the Solid match, you have selected a solid.
