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...

enter image description here

2) This box will pop-up, make sure you have both fill and stroke checked off. Click OK. enter image description here

3) Right-click and ungroup your shape - -you should now be able to adjust fill and stroke* individually. enter image description here

*Your stroke isn't actually a stroke anymore, it is now a shape!
