I love the new version of Inkscape. It is easier to use.'
The Rectangle tutorial says, "Switch to the Selector tool; in its Tool Controls bar, there's a group of four toggle buttons". The Selector tool is the top left arrow, right? When I click or double-click on it, I don't see a Tool Controls bar with toggle buttons.
The Tool Controls bar is the second row of icons above your canvas (unless you selected [View > Widescreen]). The content changes when you activate a different drawing tool. The select tool [s] has four toggles to the far right of the toolbar. These control the behaviour of strokes, fills, gradients and patterns when you transform and move shapes in your drawing. If your screen is not wide enough, the toolbar will be truncated and the right-most icons will be hidden. You can find them by clicking the down arrow.
My screen is 1920x1080. But I've achieved my goal by using Stroke Paint and Stroke Style tabs in Object > Fill and Stroke, even if I can't find four toggle buttons. I do understand that Inkscape is complicated so that it can address different usage styles.
