Making adjustments to gradient colors is extremely cumbersome. Right now, I need to make a new swatch in a slightly different color, then drag and drop that swatch into the gradient panel to add it. There is no ability to change the color from the gradient panel itself, which is a basic functionality I expected to find. My swatches panel becomes littered with similar swatches from making small color adjustments. If nothing else, please add the ability to double click one of the gradient colors on the gradients panel, and pull up a submenu where we can select a new color from a color picker, or swatch menu.

Four years on from my original post I see. This app has basically been abandoned.

The gradient panel is ARCHAIC and USELESS. I'm sorry but it's a disgrace to Adobe's name and I am embarrassed for them that their gradient panel is so pitiful.

I see we are three years from my original post and absolutely nothing has been done...

agreed....I'm designing live text with gradients and then when I scale the text the gradient shifts....there needs to be a scale effect check box just like in illustrator

In further explanation of the poor functionality here: I need both swatches and the gradient panel open at once to edit a gradient. To have both panels open at once, I must remove one of them from the panel menu. I cannot adjust colors once placed on the gradient - i must make a new color and drag it to the gradient. Likewise with opacity - in order to change opacity on part of the gradient, I must additionally apply gradient feathering.

This would be a nice feature now that we're in 2020. Affinity Designer has better functionality

Yes please, for the love of good, fix this mess!

Yes, please. Working with gradients in InDesign is very obtuse and not very intuitive. It is very disruptive to creative workflow and I am more likely to avoid using it than to embrace it as a useful feature. I agree 100% with making this tool much more robust and versatile, very much in line with the Illustrator version.

確かに、InDesignのグラデーション機能はずいぶん古い時代のものです。
Illustratorと同じように、実際のオブジェクト上でグラデーションストップを移動したり、
グラデーションストップをダブルクリックすることで、その場でカラーやスウォッチを指定できるようにしてほしい。
