Gradients need some love, and are missing both basic and advanced features that could work wonders for design teams.
Currently, there is no way to:
- Specify an exact angle for gradients
- Specify an exact height for gradient handles without tediously counting pixels; this leads to some really inconsistent results when a gradient changes size or using gradient strokes.
- Edit gradient handles within a saved color style
Please add the following features to gradient options:
- Let us type in a specific angle for gradients
- Let us specify rules for gradient handles: either gradient handles scale with a frame as it gets resized, or the gradient handles stay an exact height from each other (basically, gradient handles get either a Fill or Fixed option). Currently, I believe gradient handles scale with an object as it gets resized, but this is terrible when using gradients with strokes for a multitude of reasons. Try it out and you’ll see why.
- Let us specify an exact percentage for middle gradient handles’ placement
- Let us change the gradient handle options/positions in a saved color style
Figma won’t let new users upload files, so that’s that. Hope it makes sense.
Thanks for your consideration. These changes would help developers and designers.
