GrosseFreiheit Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Hi, is there an option to set global colors on the iPad? I use this option extensively in the desktop version. I really miss this on the iPad ... and hope I just didn‘t find it yet. Thanks, Georg Cealcrest 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff stokerg Posted February 22, 2019 Staff Share Posted February 22, 2019 Hi GrosseFreiheit, It's not currently possible to set Global Colours on the iPad. It's been requested a number of times and i'd expect to see it in Designer before it's in Photo. If you set a Global Colour on the Desktop version and open that afdesign/afphoto file the Global colour should still be honoured, you just can't create/edit them on the iPad.

naychrist Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Hi, seems this feature does still not exist in the last 1.8 release on iPad. Just wanted to give this thread a bump as would be super handy! bananayoshimoto and Cealcrest 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deetee88 Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 I also think this would make the workflow much faster. Would also love a way to easily apply same color to both stroke and fill or pick from fill and use it as well on stroke. bananayoshimoto 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cealcrest Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 I ran up against this issue a couple days ago. Thought I was just not seeing the global option in the swatches panel. Until this feature can be added, the in-app help documentation needs to state clearly that it's not possible to create global colors on the iPad version.

Robert Petras Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Creating and editing Global Colors feature on iPad would be so beneficial for us. It could increase the productivity tremendously in my opinion. Please, consider to develop this feature. Thank you!

Dybkjær Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 (edited) Just a follow up: In recent Affinity Designer versions for iPad, global colours exist in the swatches menu, see image. So for an existing drawing, I define the global colour (in a document palette, or global palette), select same to get all similar objects, and then apply the global colour. Now I can edit the colour of all these objects just by editing the global colour. There is no global gradients, but you can define a gradient style with global colours at the endpoints, and then apply the style to the select same objects. Now the gradient colours can be edited of all the assigned objects by editing the associated global colours. PS (edit): Applying the gradient style destroys the gradient direction. I can't find a way to apply only the gradient colours. But once applied the global colour gradient colours may be edited globally. Edited April 19, 2021 by Dybkjær Imprecise information about missing feature in AD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
