2. These properties should now be

   1- Gradient panel > for gradient sliders > eyedropper is must be active
   2- Swatch or color panel > right click must be active > for stroke color
   3- Asset export panel > only selection out export ( fit to select art )

   These are the properties that should be. When will he come?

3. Show global swatch triangle marker in Fill Stroke Control when a global swatch is selected

   Global swatches are marked with a white triangle in the bottom right corner of the swatch. Book colors also have a black dot in this triangle.

   These triangles are displayed everywhere swatches are used in UI: Appearance, Properties, Control... But for some reason they are omitted in tool panels, in Fill Stroke controls (and also Gradient).

   I personally see no reason why. Sure users would benefit from knowing exactly if a color is global or not when they see the color chip anywhere.

4. 16 bit mode for Illustrator

   When creating Illustrations with gradients, we can only use 8bits. When imported in Photoshop or After Effects 16bits projects, the gradients stick to this poor 8bits - resulting in banding.

   Especially when working on normal/displacement maps for 3d materials, 8bits is not enough.

   How great would it be if Illustrator had a possibility to switch to 16 or 32 bit mode!

5. We need Illustrator to be able to edit triangular meshes

   Ai can display triangular meshes alright, but not edit.

   We can generate one by expanding modern 3D object with the Render as Vector option turned on, we can have one generated after expanding an object filled with Freeform Gradient (which is just the live container with control points for creating one, with no control over the density).

   But once they are created, we get 'Non-Native Art' bricks we can do nothing with — no Recolor, no direct edit with mesh tools, only scale and rotate and distort.

   Not enough! We need you to support these fully.
   And make some good tools for editing meshes. Sure, we have meshtormentor.com — but how many users are aware of it?

7. 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).

10. Improve intertwine for gradients and effects

    Improve intertwine to allow gradients along a path before intertwine is made, then fully implement drop shadows to overlap intertwined segments. See attachment explaining workaround I produced along with high res rasterization to show where result is better than Illustrator display on monitor.

11. Effect/Filter parity with Photoshop/Indesign/After Effects

    Many of the effects in Illustrator seem to be only half implemented (in comparison to PS/AE/etc). Illustrator's glow/shadow/etc effects only have a few options compared to the same effects in other Adobe apps, which makes them less adaptable & powerful. Please beef up the effects (and add new ones, such as directional feather/gradient feather/inner shadow) in Illustrator so that they match the offerings in Adobe's other apps.

13. Option to replace RGB sliders with HSB everywhere - all swatches and all color pickers.

    We need ability to universally use HSB instead of RBG. I want the ability to fully replace RGB input and sliders with HSB everywhere in AI. I never want to look at RGB sliders ever again.
    This request is all over the forum in different phrasings/forms but unfortunately that has divided the votes leading to lower ranking.

    Here is the same request with 87 votes oddly worded as "Illustrator forgets which color mode is set in the Color palette (and Gradient)"

14. Allow to set Shades, similar to how Tints work now

    I'd like to see a Shade option added to global swatches. Currently, we have tint, which adds varying levels of white to the color until you reach 100% white. Shade would act in the opposite direction, adding varying levels of black until you reached 100% black.

    I would envision this working by letting users click the "T" next to the slider in the color palette and having it switch to an "S", with the gradient changing from white on the left to black.

    This would be helpful because I often find myself needing not only lighter hues to work with a color palette but darker ones as well. I rely on creating al new colors or multiplying a black shape on top of the current color one. This does add a layer of complexity to shape selection and color changes with global colors. A global shaded color would update as would any global tinted color.

15. Hint all Preferences options, even without (i) icon

    Some options in Preferences are mystery for new users, but the team believe only some (just 3!) should have a dedicated (i) icon to display a hover hint.

    No.

    ALL options should have a hover hint.

    How on Earth a user can guess what 'Show/Hide Rulers' does? It feels like it is the same as View > Rulers > Show / Hide Rulers, but no, it’s not! You have to search for it! (just rename this one already)

    Or what about enigmatic 'Enable Content Aware Defaults'? What are these? OK, pros know, Puppet Warp, Lorem Ipsum, Freeform Gradient control points. But why doesn’t Ai tell this contextually, right here and now?

    'Use Precise Cursors' — what is that? What, they are usually imprecise? No, it''s just crosshair (and it can be toggle with Caps Lock) — how about telling this?

16. Radial Repeat needed updates!

    1. Oval Radial Repeat
       It would be very useful to be able to adjust the radial repeat to an oval radial repeat. Just like how you can change a radial gradient from a circular shape to an oval shape. Opens for lots of more possibilities and will be a huge time saver. Doing this manually is hard.

    2. Control rotation/angle
       It would be very useful if we can get inputs to adjust angle/rotation and option to shift lock rotation changes to 45 degrees.

    See these posts:

    https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/43866528-radial-repeat-rotation-angle-value-in-options-pane

18. Select more than one layer at once

    Okay if you have more than one layer...let's say 50 and I need to select 20 of them. Why can't someone select them with a single click instead of selecting every single layer? With shift selected I can mark more than one but they aren't selected. Same thing for sublayers and so on.

    Hi Everyone, This feature has been available since August 2020 release (version 24.3). Please update to the latest release using Creative Cloud desktop App: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/creative-cloud-updates.html Thank you for all the feedback.

    
    

    You can now select multiple layers in Layers panel. Click the bars (they get highlighted blue) if you want to operate layers and not their content (e.g. to drag to reorder) or click their markers to select their content — circle (target ones) or square (selection ones) next to them. There is no real difference which to pick, but if you want to select a range of layers, using Shift, use target markers.

    1. Ref-ing the same mask crashes Illustrator.

20. Custom presets for Asset Export / Export for Screens

    When adding in your own custom sizes and suffixes into the Asset Export panel it would be nice to be able to save these out as a preset for later use.

    For my job I have to export the same image into 20-30 different sizes with individual names (suffixes) that don't change. That's why I thought it would be good if you could set up all the file sizes and names once then save it out as preset for later use or to even share with a colleague.

    It would speed up the workflow for many people if this was a feature.
