Joakim Svensson Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 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%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joakim Svensson Posted February 2, 2023 Author Share Posted February 2, 2023 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%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 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. walt.farrell 1 Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 Affinity Designer 2.4.1 | Affinity Photo 2.4.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.1 | Beta versions as they appear.

On Windows the Opacity remains at 0% which is what I would expect Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

Staff Sean P Posted February 3, 2023 Staff Share Posted February 3, 2023 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. laurent32 and Joakim Svensson 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
