1. Adobe color themes bug

   The "Open Color Themes Panel" button in Swatches opens a broken panel that cannot be resized to see it's web view. It can only be resized vertically. Seems like it went unchecked and shipped.

   Started (Available In Beta)  ·  AdminEgor Chistyakov (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) responded

   The latest Beta build 29.0.0.9 now allows us to create a gradient from selected swatches, using two ways:

   1. Select swatches you need (use Cmd/Ctrl to select several) and drag-n-drop them onto the gradient strip in Gradient panel.
   2. Select swatches you need and choose the new 'Gradient from Swatches Selection' command from the Swatches panel’s flyout menu.

   In both cases new gradient stops will be spread uniformly, using the current order of swatches in the panel (not the order of selection).

   If you have artwork selected in the document while doing this, the gradient will be automatically applied to it.

   Please try the feature and comment back.

3. Allow repeat patterns to be added to swatches

   In the desktop version of AI you were able to create patterns and then add them to the swatches panel to access in any other file. This would be a good feature for the app.

4. Please add Illustrator option to maintain text color

   Could you please add an option for us to keep the color we chose for the text in an illustrator file we're currently working on?

   Meaning: Say I am writing text in a file, but I want separate text boxes and I want to keep the same color, rather than Illustrator defaulting back to black or whatever color was set as default in the preferences.

   I'd like to be able to check a box to keep the color I am using for the text rather than having to go back to the color and subsequently the default sizes set in the Main preferences. It's time consuming to keep having to change both the color and size for each text area I create in a document.

   Thank you.

5. Find color in artwork

   Sometimes I have a stray color that I cannot find in the artwork. It would be nice if there was a way I could click on the swatch and say find color and it would highlight everything that color was used on.

6. Add CSS color styling option to OpenType-SVG specification, so font colors may be altered in Illustrator

   Currently, OpenType-SVG color fonts come with pre-defined colors.

   To provide glyphs in different shades, additional stylistic sets need to be added to the font, bloating it tremendously.

   I propose to add the ability to OpenType-SVG to have certain colors of a glyph being overwritten by the application (e.g. Illustrator), so text colors can be applied to a range of glyphs just like it's done with standard monochrome glyphs.

   To do so, OpenType-SVG should be able to export a set of color reference names, referenced within the glyph's SVG. An application may then assign alternate colors to those color references, so the glyph will render using these colors.

   For example, an OpenType-SVG glyph may look similar to this:

   (UserVoice scrambles my below code, so I attached a text file with the suggested SVG content.)

   ---

   <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">

   <style type="text/css">
     :root
     {
       --base-color: rgba(200, 10, 10, 1);
       --highlight-color: rgba(255, 70, 70, 1);
     }
   
     .gradient-fill
     {
       fill: url(#gradient) #000;
     }
   </style>
   
   <defs>
     <linearGradient id="gradient">
       <stop offset="0" stop-color="var(--base-color)" />
       <stop offset="1" stop-color="var(--highlight-color)" />
     </linearGradient>
   </defs>
   
   <polygon class="gradient-fill" points="0,0 100,0 0,66" />
   

   </svg>

   ---

   Illustrator's swatch for font color may then switch from a single swatch to a list of swatches, representing each of the CSS color variable values (see Properties panel illustration attached).

7. Please update to allow newer Pantone swatches to be usable.

   For years Pantone's new colors have been released, yet I can't upload those books into Illustrator. So for years I've been able to see colors I can't use. Super frustrating. I use the Coated Color Bridge book in spot and cmyk. If I'm doing something wrong, PLEASE enlighten me!

   AdminEgor Chistyakov (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) responded

   As stated in the article linked below, Pantone’s licensing with Adobe got changed.

   Due to this change, customers will need to purchase Pantone Connect licenses to access Pantone colors in Adobe Creative Cloud products.

   Alas, this is the world today.

8. Drag color swatch onto artboard to make a square with the fill color.

   It would be nice for creating style sheets to be able to drag a swatch onto the artboard and have it just make a square of that color.

9. Default Swatches and Styles as part of New Document Dialog

   The first thing I do every time I create a new document is delete all those default swatches and add my own. And those pattern swatches (e.g., "Jive," "Golden Ring," "Alyssa"), I am literally never going to use those.

   And those quirky Graphic styles ("Jive_GS" etc). I am literally never going to use those either.

   Ideally, I'd like to load up a document with its swatches, paragraph styles, graphic styles etc as part of the "new document" dialog. I can choose artboard size, bleed, margins, all kinds of things.

   How about if I could pick swatch groups, paragraph styles, graphic styles, etc from CC libraries as part of the new document dialog?

   It's a small thing, but after year after year of deleting the 500 swatches that I will never use - and then adding the six that I need with literally every document I create - seems there could be a smarter way to get started. Know what I mean, Steve McQueen?

12. Change colormode of swatchcolors with spotColorKind

    Hello Adobe,

    I want to change the colormode of a swatch with javascript.
    I do not want to change the document mode but I want to change specific swatches in my swatch library.

    Now some of my swatches/colors are RGB spotcolors. I want to change them into CMYK spotcolor.

    This is almost impossible now because spotColorKind is now read only :(

    Now I have to:
    - create new swatches with exactly the same colors and with different name
    - attach new color to my pathitems
    - delete old swatches
    - rename swatches

    I only wanted to change the colormode of the swatch......

    Please make "simple" functions like this available. It would save a lot of code!

13. Select Same Fill Color & Stroke Color

    'Select Same Fill & Stroke' command from Select > Same menu also includes stroke weight. But sometimes we need to ignore it and search only by colors.

    So basically we have no 'Select Same Fill Color & Stroke Color' command...

    ....no wait. We do have this command!
    It is just well hidden.

    For some reason it is available only as an option in the dropdown menu for the Select Similar Objects button — but not in the menu. Please make these two sources match and combine both lists.

14. Reinstate The Functionality Of The Swatches Panel In CS 5.5

    I’d like to see the functionality of the Swatch panel that was in (Windows) Ai CS 5.5 reinstated. Specifically, when the panel was opened, I used to be able to toggle through the Color Modes by holding Shift and clicking on the color square (thumbnail). If I held Cntrl, it would toggle to the color compliment. These were two great features that were eliminated with CS 6 through to the current version of CC 2017. Bring these back!!

15. Document Color Mode - add option of Grayscale

    I need to make a lot of documents that must print in one color. I truly wish Illustrator offered a Document Color Mode of Grayscale - that mode would prevent use of color in any object created in ai, and would convert anything Placed, imported, or otherwise part of the document as Grayscale. It would also be good to have an "Open As" Grayscale option...

16. Don’t require hitting Find before Replace All becomes active in Find and Replace dialog

    Illustrator’s Find and Replace dialog is bad.
    One of the issues is that we can’t immediately Replace All after we enter text. We have to press Find first.

    Why? If it’s nothing to replace — replace nothing (and perhaps show a message, preferably a shy one, not a clunky modal dialog).

17. Gradient Swatch includes angle and position, please!

    Currently a Gradient swatch only includes color and transparency. PLEASE build Illustrator so Gradient Swatches include angle and position!

    It's a pain to have to adjust the gradient angle, after a Gradient Swatch attribute has been applied to an object. If the angle were editable and save-able (in the swatch) it would be wonderful!

19. Switching to gradient should use as starting gradient color the original solid color

    Switching to solid color to gradient, by default gradient should use as starting color the original solid color.

    Since imho mostly people uses solid as starting point, then converts to gradient.
