Just to clarify, Josh was correct. By design if you make the close source stroke and fill "unset" (not none - with unset it will show up black on screen) then you can change the fill and stroke of clones. This is a technique I use all the time, and is the whole basis of the trace tab in tiled clones.

Hi,
The nature of a "clone" is that it is an exact clone of the original. By nature, you cannot change attributes of a clone rather than its placement and transformations.
If you need different strokes or fills you should make copies and not clones.

Hi,
I'm using Inkscape 0.48, ubuntu 11.10. I can't change the color of a clone without unlinking it.
I tried to reproduce the steps here : http://maururu.net/2007/using-clones-in-inkscape/
It doesn't go into depth in instructions. In the status bar there is the widget for Fill & Stroke. Select your original object, right-click on whichever either the Fill or Stroke down there and use "Unset fill" (second to last entry).
Cheers, Josh
Thank you. I tried to unset the color of the clone, not the original.
