Thought that I’d suggest adding a percentage indicator on the linear gradient colour selector. When I’m adjusting the colours in my linear gradient track, I’d like to know the precise location where my colours are on the track - a feature currently not included.
If the far left of that track is 0, the far right is 100, and I have a colour marker near the middle then I’d like to know if my middle marker is at 50, or 51, or 49. This allows me to be precise with my colours when creating new gradient templates that I can then use throughout my projects.
Came here to suggest this same thing. Seems to me a very basic feature that many designers use. I’m hopeful that we’ll see it in a not-so-distant-future release…?
YES! please for this feature.
Really irritating you cannot mathematically input the positions for each colour stop in the gradient. With all the other amazing things Figma can do, this seems like an oversight.
Hey designers!
I’ve been using Figma for just a few days and it is my new absolute bestie, but there’s one thing that bothers me. When creating a gradient, one of the most basic features is using percentages to place keypoints. In the case of a linear gradient, the beginning would be 0 and the end would be 100. This way you can place keypoints precisely and since I’m a perfectionist I can’t stand having to guess where (for example) 50 is and maybe getting 49 or 51. This is a really basic feature that even Pixlr has (which I recently switched from to Figma) and it’s just a small quality-of-life thing that’s very important. I would like to see this added soon since it would make Figma even closer to perfect!
shame that this basic functionality is STILL not included. maybe adobe will actually fix it since all we want is the gradient controls from illustrator.
@admin combine some of the sundry posts asking for this feature?
Almost 2024 and using Gradients in Figma is still an awful experience.
There’s much room for upgrades like percentage input, stops count, direction change / rotation, using styles and variables etc etc etc.
Hi Bob, the Figma team made some improvements to the gradient tool on February 27, 2024. Here is the link to the details of the improvements: Figma product news & release notes. “Creating beautiful gradients in Figma just got easier. Now you can flip and rotate your gradient with new controls, enjoy smarter defaults, and simply hold Shift to snap.” I hope this helps.
thanks. it wasn’t immediate obvious… but the adjustments are not in the gradient control box. they are displayed on the canvas itself when the gradient control box is open.
