Looking good. A way to select the objects affected by the selected
gradient would be useful. So that you can make massive gradient
re-assignments.
I've attached my suggestions--mostly just adding padding to beautify the
presentation, reduced the size of the gradients. Should be pretty clear
to tell based on looking at it.
Thank you John!

Hi John,
Looking good. A way to select the objects affected by the selected
gradient would be useful. So that you can make massive gradient
re-assignments.
I've attached my suggestions--mostly just adding padding to beautify the
presentation, reduced the size of the gradients. Should be pretty clear
to tell based on looking at it.
Thank you John!
