well I was trying to do it from the color picker window, since it seems to snap a little. Maybe was just an illusion :D

I was thinking the slider was snapping to each 1%

Oh interesting? It must be more fluid then that, huh.

whole percentages make sense. As does having some form of manual control over it

yeah, the gradient options have changed. You definitely could specify the stop position in the past :(

closest I can get to any manual control is to setting the values with the inspector

:(

or maybe I’m just remembering wrong? I’m doubting myself now haha

I just could have sworn I learned that gradient stop trick from Rogie (https://twitter.com/rogie) when he was doing some design stream

I’m fairly confident that specific stop percentages weren’t ever in there.

Darn, well sorry for the misinformation folks! The best I could do is to draw other shapes (¼ or ½ the size) & zoom in to get exact stop values.

I've definitely drawn specific shapes to help align stops before, but that's not perfect either.

regardless, close enough is usually close enough to help engineers make it precise via code

One of the many, many things I still miss from Fireworks…

YOOOOOO how has this been an open issue since 2017 lets get some positioning!!!

I just got a message from Figma support that this "isn't going to be available in the near future" and I'm crying. All the Smart Animations, Smart Layouts, Smart Everything can't help when the absolute BASICS are not there. And actually, Figma has most of the basics right and better than ever before. But why this ommision?

You have the values in the code! What's the reason to not make it a user input? Surely it can't a technical or UX problem.

angle and position. how hard can it be?

Agree it's still painfully primitive for a baseline feature and yet there are resources to rebrand the product (again).

No news about this basic features?

Bump (And whilst reviewing this, add repeat as a gradient option like CSS has had for like... the last 10 years)
