Hi, I try to get the top stroke color different from the side, like below. It's lineless, but some parts have line color. I tried deleteing the strokes to get the lineless result, but the color stroke longer than the fill part.
Does anyone know if moho can achieve this style?

If I understand what you're asking for, you need to make a different shape for the stroke you want to apply a different style to.
1. Hide the existing stroke by selecting the shape and then unchecking Stroke in the style.
2. Select the points that will make the segment for a stroke in one color.
3. Create a new Stroke using Create Shape with Stroke selected.
4. Repeat 3 for each segment.
You can now apply a different color style to each stroke shape.
(Yikes! I feel like I just made a logo for Google!)
Additional info: Because each segment is its own shape, you can apply different properties to each shape, like different line thicknesses and effects.
Everything in the above is a different style applied to each shape. The purple line around all of the segments is a layer border effect.
Hope this helps, but if that's not what you're asking, need more info.

Thank you so much!!! I've been searching so much to find a solution.

This is maybe the only feature the old Animo software had which is not present in Moho (in any other respect Moho has succeeded it). (Animo? Cambridge Animation Software, I was there in 1993 to beta-test it.)
In Animo each point in an outline could not only have a different colour, but a complete gradient with more than 2 stops. Just imagine the FX possibilities of this ...

I never could really get to play with it, but for what I could see (around 2000s), its vector system had to be incredibly precise and powerful...
