Unable to change color of a 0% opacity color in gradient

[Joakim Svensson]

I have a two color gradient, I change one of the colors to 0% opacity. The color that is at 0% opacity is still visible in the middle of the gradient. So why are the option to change this color disabled?

The solution I use is to change the 0% opacity to something above 0%, that enables the color selector, change the color and change back to 0% again. It's a hassle. Please make the color selector available even if the opacity is 0%.

I'm actually able to change the color without changing the opacity value first by clicking the gray area next to "Color:". But then my opacity value is automatically changed to 100%.

You are not disabling the second colour, you are just changing its opacity. If you want Pink to transparent then both stops must be Pink.

You're right, that color should still be listed even if it's 0% opacity.

On Windows the Opacity remains at 0% which is what I would expect

HI Joakim Svensson,

Thanks for letting us know. The UI is trying to represent the Opacity, but its not using the checkerboard background, so making it appear disabled.

I'll pass this on to development, along with the behaviour of changing the colour resetting the Opacity as well.
