    Hi,

    I made a new SVG and saved it.

    Then I tried to test in my program (I use nanoSVG for parsing).

    Here is an SVG:

     

     

    It looks very light.

     

    So I went back to InkSca[e and tried to made the lines fatter.but couldnt..

     

    What I did:

    1. Open the SVG.

    2. Click the "Selection" tool (the top icon on the left).

    3. Double click at the bottom where it says "Stroke"

    4. Click on the "Stroke Style" on the right pane.

    5. Tried to increase the width.

     

    Is there a possibility to edit the resulting SVG?

     

    Thank you.

    I'd also like to make that icon colored...

    Ungroup your icon to get easier access to the elements which are all editable. Getting lower than 1px for a stroke width may not work for raster graphic icons. Check out the file please:

    The status bar at the bottom of the screen gives you useful information. Your image consists of several shapes assigned to a group. You're selecting the group when you need to select and format the individual shapes. Try [Object > Ungroup] or [shift+ctrl+g] to remove the grouping and repeat for any subgroups. Now you can [Edit > Select All] and change the stroke width.

    I suggest reading through Inkscape's tutorials. [Help > Tutorials > Inkscape: Basic] describes grouping and formatting.

    Hi, guys,

    Thank you. Ungrouping worked.

    If that´s the point of interest please change both points to  corner nodes. The vertically red line isn´t straight either.
