I planned to give resistors a different color depending on size. e.g. 0805 blue, 0402 red
I changed all resistors to have single parent and changed the parent color. Unfortunately the color of the inherited parts is different (darker)
Is this intentional behavior ? If so is there a way to override this ?
I think that’s normal, inherited parts have a brown body fill colour which cannot be edited. See for example LM7812_TO220 which is derived from LM7805_TO220.
