Hello,
You can change the color of the actor directly:
```js
const widget = widgetManager.getWidgets()[0];
const actor = widget.getRepresentations()[3].getActors()[0];
actor.getProperty().setColor(color);
```
I find it hacky and it would be better if it was set in the state of the widget as for line thickness:
```js
widget.getWidgetState().setLineThickness(10); // works fine
widget.getWidgetState().setLineColor(color); // setColor is undefined
```
Maybe @finetjul knows a better way to do it?

Oh I see that you already replied in [this other thread](https://discourse.vtk.org/t/move-in-3d-linewidget-on-reslicecursorwidget/12253/7) @finetjul
