Make fill translucent but keep stroke opaque in Illustrator
Make fill translucent but keep stroke opaque in Illustrator
Question
How do I set the fill of a rectangle to be 50% opacity, but keep the stroke at full opacity? The transparency panel controls both fill and stroke. I want to set them independently.

While I have no direct answer, I do have a work-around:
1)Select your shape, then go...
2) This box will pop-up, make sure you have both fill and stroke checked off. Click OK.
3) Right-click and ungroup your shape - -you should now be able to adjust fill and stroke* individually.
*Your stroke isn't actually a stroke anymore, it is now a shape!
