    Hello everyone!

    I have a bit of an issue and I cannot figure out where I am going wrong. I've recently installed Inkscape and have been following some tutorials and experimenting a bit with the different tools.

    I have created a text logo and filled it with a customer texture (the texture is an imported one, that has been converted to bit map, then converted to a Pattern).

     

    My question is, I have made the logo and applied a small stroke to it, along with the fill. When I move this over the layer with my background colour, the fill disappears. The fill appears of I lower the opacity of the background layer, but I don't want the opacity of the background to be lowered.

     

    Any suggestions?

    There‘s a button in top row saying: „Move Pattern fill with object“  - or alike that needs to be enabled. Have you checked this already?

    I will try this when home and let you know. Thanks in advance!

    I can see this button and it is selected (highlighted blue). Unfortunately this doesn't work.

    I have attached images on an example of what I mean. Could it be from converting the texture file to bitmap?

    The pattern fill moves with the object but what you didn´t noticed is the "white spots" are actually transparent areas - so they don´t work on a black background. Convert the pattern PNG to JPG or deleting the alpha channel in a raster image editor would help.

    Ah ok, brilliant. Thanks for the speedy response! I shall get back at it!
