Hi friends ,

As I am working on a project and one thing I am trying to create a polygon I insert as a polyon note.  It is automically add to ArcGIS Pro as a custom color with light blue and transparent which I like a lot .

It looks like this

Now what I would like to change the color to red polygon as a 75 percent and keep the outline as a black with 0 percent transparent . See example here

I played around the effects here to try to get the red color to be more vivid transparent deep  to see through?

So one possible solution is to go to the ArcGIS 2D Style and scroll down to the Gray 60% (Transparent) symbol and select that one first. You'll see your polygon symbolized as 60% transparent and a gray color.  Next, in the Symobology Pane, click the Properties tab near the top and change the Outline width to 1 pt or similar. Next click the color dropdown where the gray symobology is and select Color Properties.  In the Color Editor, type in your Red Hex # code for red - like FF0000 - and change the Transparency to 75%.  Click OK.  Your Map View then should reflect the black line and red polygon with the transparency.

I'm sure there are other ways to do this...
