I'm glad that a subsequent post shows you got what you wanted.


Recap: The Fill Inspector is always available now... it and the Color Mixer

are non-modal. To create a new gradient, choose the type of gradient

desired from the Fill Inspector, select any color chip, choose a new color

either from the swatch popup in the Fill Inspector or create a new color in

the Color Mixer.


Gradient tips:


--  Click below the gradient bar to add a new color chip to create

multicolor gradients.


--  To remove a color chip in a multicolor gradient, drag it off the

gradient bar.


--  Click "Save Gradient" to add it to your swatches.


--  Choose "Hide Edges" to see an object's color fully while creating its

gradient.


--  To make an alpha gradient, select a color chip and adjust its Alpha in

the Color Mixer.


--  To change the angle or radius of a gradient, use the "Transform Fill"

Option for the Paintbucket Tool.
