Colour

The colour editor can be found at the bottom left corner of the zone editor. You have two choices when picking a colour: you can define your preferred colour or use a preconfigured theme.

In the Themes window, go to the desired colour theme. Right-click the theme and click Select.

Once the theme has been selected, the colours in the theme will be displayed. You can now click one of the colours to apply it to the shape.
