How To Change the Color of Ink Canvas

Ink Canvas is a software program published by WPF that allows the user to create graphic images on a computer with only a mouse. Ink Canvas enables the user to draw, erase, select, move and resize pen strokes that are created with the program. The default pen color when using Ink Canvas is black; however, the program allows the user to change it to any color desired. The software application is compatible with Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7.

Instructions

1. Click "Select strokes" from the toolbar at the top of the application window. This option is located to the left of the red "X" symbol. The "Choose style" popup menu will open.

2. Click on the circle next to the dropdown box if you want a color other than the three preselected options of black, red or blue.

3. Click the arrow on the dropdown box and then click "Add new." A color palette window will open.

4. Select the color and shade you desire. An opacity bar can also be adjusted. Click "OK" when you are satisfied.

5. Click the "Draw with pen" box from the toolbar. Begin drawing in the color you selected.
