With nothing selected, Stroke panel edits (stroke.set / stroke.setAdvanced: cap, join, dashes,
arrowheads, profile...) and a graphic style clicked in the Graphic Styles panel
(graphicStyle.apply, add too) set up the next object drawn: its stroke options, fills, strokes,
effects, opacity and blend mode, linked to the style. The Appearance panel's New Art Has Basic
Appearance (appearance.setNewArtBasic, preference newArtBasic, on by default) now works: off,
new art takes the whole appearance of the last selection. paint.default resets the template,
appearance.newArt reports it, and with nothing selected the Stroke panel shows its stroke and
the Appearance panel its rows. PaintDefaults gains the template appearance, opacity, blend
mode and style.
