    Hi. 

    I am developing en extension for gcode based laser system using older plugins. I have to make color based paramaters for tool path. For example every basic color like red and orange will have different cut speed and power. Now i want to change color of the object using bottom color bar not to fill object with that color. How can i do that with less effort. Thank you all.

    I'm not 100% sure what you mean. 

    Do you want to use an extension to change the colour ? For example bound to a shortcut key ? 

    Or clear a fill ? 

    If you are clicking the colour bar at the bottom of the window, I'm not sure how that could be simplified ?

    Not sure but possibly OP wants to press color button to set cut speed and power setting of object but not change the objects color on screen is sorta what I take it to mean. Example choose object path and set speed and power to set depth? IDK

    Hi. Thank you for your answers buy none of the answers suits my needs. Now in inkscape, when i select an object and clicked the color button on color palette in the bottom left of the screen, the object fills with clicked button color. But my need is, when i clicked the color button instead of filling the object with that color, objects stroke color changed with that color.

    Shift-click sets the stroke color.
