Change request — Parity in color panels

[Alexey Adamitsky]

I discovered that Color panel and drop down Color panel aren't really the same. There are features and functionality disparities.

The most prominent is the Opacity slider. Please improve the the drop down Color panel and add an option to see/add numeral values to the opacity. When you adjust the opacity with drop down Color panel there is no way to know the opacity value. Which is terrible UX decision.

The other thing is the drop down menu(1) for the opacity in the color panel. What is it for? Why it wasn't implement simply like a filed(2)? It seems very redundant when there is a slider to adjust the opacity and the option to add a precise number manually.

Agreed.

But I like the dropdown with presets in 10+ increments, I use it a lot and switching between mouse and keyboard for the same disrupts my flow. I pick a percentage and adjust it in detail with the mouse wheel if necessary. Also the code in use for this is probably making tablets users happy and efficient.
