You’ll find different solid color options when you pick the “Solid” color setting. Pick any of them. Or, you can click the color picker (the brush icon) to open the color palette and choose your desired colors. Let’s go with the blue color and see how it appears:

4. Flip, Bring to front, and Offset

There are 3 more settings left that are specially used for further customization. Let’s explore a bit about them.

There is an option called “flip.”, By default, it is disabled. If you enable it, the shape will flip its position. Here’s how it’ll appear.

The next option is “bring to front.” The function of this setting is if any block overlaps the shape, you can select whether the shape will be upfront or the block. By default, the option is disabled, which means if you add any block, it’ll appear in front of the shape.
