Scrolling through huge palettes with this tiny view is really frustrating.

Welcome to the forums,

As far as I know you can't. However you can drag the Swatches panel from the group in the Upper-Right (if default settings, and you haven't moved them), enlarge it. Clicking on the hamburger menu for it, provides options of Small, Medium and Large.

Thanks man, appreciate it. The question now is, how do i go from there, to applying it seamlessly to the gradient tool?

Can you do a mini vid to demo how? I'd really appreciate it.

Awwwwwwww sheeeet. Okay, cool i figured out. But jkjk, it makes designer crash from my existing project. Works fine in a new project.

Dude, thank you sooooo much.

===============================================

For everyone else,

Apply your gradiant line using the gradient tool. At the extreme ends of the gradient on the canvas, there are two circles. Just drag and drop your preferred colors to those circles and the colors will be applied like that.

As you posted the vid, i posted my reply after figuring it out. The timing of it all.

Again, thank you so much.

Hole up!!! Your method and mine are similar but different. Good to know.

Much, much thanks.
