Beginners' Questions New Layer, auto opacity of 20%

    Hello,

    Whenever I create a new layer and use any tool within new layer, the opacity in "layers and objects" is automatically set to 20%.

    I tried making a shape and setting the opacity to 100% and then creating a second shape hoping inkscape would "remember" the preference, and it still sets the opacity to 20%.

    I haven't had any luck in the preferences or the manual, so any advice will help. Thank you!

    Using V1.3 if that helps.

    After some trials, it seems to me that Inkscape remembers when you changed a layer's opacity and applies this value to new layers.

    Open the layers and objects dialog [shift+ctrl+L] and select one of your semi-transparent layers. Now open the fill and stroke dialog [shift+ctrl+f] and at the bottom set the layer opacity to 100%. When you create another layer, its opacity should be 100% too.
