Is it possible to apply transparency to the fills of objects without affecting their strokes?

The way I usually do things is to adjust opacity in the Transparency palette and then paste a copy of the object in front with no fill and a 100% opaque stroke.

But is there another way?

Steve,

If you click to select the Fill in the Appearance palette/panel, you should be able to set its Opacity/Transparency separately (unless some new feature since 10 prevents it).

I am less worried about the development, as it seems that the way I suggested is still viable, as one of (at least) two.

Are there other (new) ways?

Not really. It's just easier access now. You can actually change most attributes via the Appearance panel. That blue text is clickable and will pop up a transparency panel right there.

I'm on CS3. Looks like they've done something sensible since then.

Highlight the fill prior to changing transparency, to assign that transparency only to the fill, and not global to the entire path.
