@EricP Thank you, because that's what gave me the idea to try it. Although I thought you'd know it and point it out. As I already wrote, it's quite misleading that the gradient object initially receives a solid color fill and then you have to create the gradient again with the new colors. As I wrote in my thread "Houston, I have a problem...", it's quite often the case that a feature one need is already build in. I always wonder how @vectorstyler knew before hand what I would need. But my suggestions about creating a gradient are still valid.

@VectorStyler Great worked. Thanks.

@861475_VctSt お返事にありがとう～　その設定でもう一度見ます。 しかし、IMEでなく英語入力したらある問題もみえるし、リポートすることも必要だと思います。

@Boldline said in Could locking a layer free up VS to only render and focus on active layers?: it will essentially tell VS to see that selection as an image and not try to render and re-render the nodes each time I work on other parts of the file? Yes. Is there a time I should leave it off or turn it off at a given point? It can be too slow if there are only a few vectors in the layer. It works better for large number of (unchanged) vectors, gradients or image effects Should I be adjusting anything with the "rendering thread"? Let that unchecked, so it will use the current number of CPU cores on the system

@richbyte How about giving this a try? https:// www.vectorstyler.com/forum/topic/5288/can-t-save

@VectorStyler Thanks.

@VectorStyler If this is possible, i would plaid for that option because it would make things a bit easier e.g. if you like to use a Palette for colorize

@Kaoss Try restarting VectorStyler, and if it can connect to the license server it should get an extension.

@Boldline In the Colors tab there are the Dimming Color and Opacity options

@VectorStyler It was present in 1.3.010, but it works properly in the latest build. Thank you
