Started working on one of my designs. And when creating a shape with the pen tool over another shape. the fill was no longer a solid. I am now able to see strokes from the shapes on the back layer. I am baffled at how to return the fill back to a solid.

I don't see that this question was answered. It is old and may not be worth an answer now but... Shift X on a MAC toggles color and transparency...

Shift+X swaps fill and stroke by default.

I don't think that has much to do with this thread.

I tried both of those recommendations. I added the color red, originally I was using gray. Not sure if that matters. So far, I have deleted the object, remade it. tried every color. Reset the settings the best I could. I have tried both of those panels and looks at everything else I could think of. I'm lost on it.

In the Appearance panel can click click on the arrow to the left of the fill?

Make sure your fill is set to a color...

Hi Apollo,

If you don't want any Transparency, try selecting all, and in the Transparency panel, make the Blending Mode "Normal" and the Opacity 100%. This should fix everything going forward as well.

Hope this helps!
