Hello community! 👋
I’m looking for a script that can apply a blue fill and a yellow stroke to a selection, while the fill appears in front and the stroke in the background within the Appearance panel. This is to maintain organization within the panel itself, not merely applying a stroke outside.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Ah good question. Graphic styles do contain the appearance attributes as you see them in the appearance panel.
I've never scripted graphic styles, but I had a quick look at the docs and found ArtStyle. You seem to be able to do something like:
var myGraphicStyle = app.activeDocument.graphicStyles.getByName("my style");
myGraphicStyle.applyTo(myPageItem);I haven't tested, but see if that's helpful.

After several attempts and modifications, I've finally crafted a script that seems to be functioning correctly. Below is the solution script that worked for me:
// Ensure an active document is open and a page item is selected
if (app.documents.length > 0 && app.activeDocument.selection.length > 0) {
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var myPageItem = doc.selection[0];
try {
// Try to get the graphic style and apply it
doc.graphicStyles.getByName("StyleName").applyTo(myPageItem);
} catch (e) {
// Handle error silently
}
}
I hope this can be of help to anyone who might be facing similar issues.
