Hi, First of all I would like to clarify the current behavior. I tried to work with clones recently, and I must admit they seamed very weird and I preferred to use copies.
Why can't I modify the color of a clone if I can modify its opacity or blur ? On a user point of view, what's the difference between fill color and opacity ? (they both deal with style)
The difference is that opacity and blur are cumulative. You can apply more opacity and more blur on top of old opacity and blur, using groups for example. Color, however, is not cumulative. You can only replace the old color with the new one in the object itself (groups won't help you here), and this is something that a clone only allows you to do when it has NO old color, i.e. has the color unset.
