New text and lines are suddenly not as bright as rest of drawing [Solved]

[SOLVED ... thanks to member dellus]

Howdy,

Newbie here.
My first drawing with LibreCAD has been coming along as well as can be expected. One in a row. Lol

All of a sudden my new text and lines are not as "bright" or intense as the rest of the drawing. I double checked
my line widths. Interesting that when I go to Tools >Modify > Properties I only see a change in the command line area:

"Properties : properties, prop"

Not sure what to do next as far as checking out the line parameters to see why this "washed out" change is happening.

Further down in the command line area you are asked to "Click on entity to modify".

With "Draft "mode on all lines are shown with no line thickness. Maybe you had it on earlier and now have switched to off, not knowing.

I appreciate your responding!!!

You gave me some new information about the correct way to navigate
Tools > Modify > Properties.

Turns out it was a "layering" issue and as soon as I set the line "layer"
value to "0"  for the element the intensity changed.

Now I have to figure out how to reset the default layer value to "0" for the drawing
so my new elements are not referencing a layer from an inserted symbol element
I used earlier.

There's a learning curve here no doubt. I appreciate your input.

edit - Got it! Layer List set to "0".
