ENVOY Posted February 21, 2023 Posted February 21, 2023 Hey there, how can I change one specific color in gradients on different layers at the same time? For example: I have 10 layout layers. Every layout has a gradient. I use 5 specific colors (blue, beige, red, grey, green). In every layout, I use 2 of these colors as a gradient. Now I wish to change the blue for all blue gradient variants on the different layers with one knob or setting. How can I do this? THX4HLP Marcel Quote

But if you didn't setup all those gradients using global colors to start with, they'll all have to be recreated.

That might work, but it falls under the category of recreating the gradients, in my opinion. You'd still need to adjust each of the stops to reassign it to the new global color, before you could change that color.

Not sure what you mean by a layout layer But if I have 3 different size Rectangle with the same gradient on them I can select one Rectangle then do Select > Same > Fill Colour which will select all 3 Rectangles as they have the same Fill (the gradient) then I can adjust the gradient colour nodes and all 3 Rectangles change at the same time If above is not useful we may need a sample Affinity document Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.
