Hi, i am new to Corel Draw (i draw a lot in Illustrator and Affinity Designer), and i found that i can aply to a TEXT only a flat Colour. and if i want to add a "Fountain fill" etc., i have to convert the Text to curvs (maybe i mistaking).
So, my first requst is simple:
My second requst is:
I found thaht its very easy to aplly "Trancparency" to an object, but i didnt see an option just for "Tint" (to lighten and darken the colour, without Trancparen background) like i see in other graphic aplications.
So, please ad a "Thint Slider", to give the ability to aply how Dark \ Light the colour should be (i know that its possible and easy to do that in Draw, but it will be a good idea if it will be more "Easyer" and "Official"... see image).
And don't forgot about my Effects reqest...

Thanks!

sorry, but that's wrong. Press F11 and select the fill you want.
Or take the interactive gradient fill (the G key) and you'll find al options available on the property bar. Anyway, if you press G and drag over the text, the resul will be a gradient, then you can choose colors, add (double click in the arrow) or remove colors
Hot Coffee said:
"Tints" is available when you use a Spot color, such as a Pantone.
For CMYK or RGB, by default we need the CMYK or RGB values, but you can use as "tint" anyway, on the Color Styles docker (Ctrl+F6). Add a color as new style, then choose "create gradient", for example 10 shades lighter (you can modify it later)
Thanks Arial! looks like it will take a litle time to learn all triks in Corel Draw.
But about my second requst: It will be a great idea if we will have a Tint Slider, to can aplly Tint easely, and also for RGB and CMYK without having to create a gradient, and not only for Spot color.
And it should be available every place we want to edit a color, the same like we have a Trancparency Slider (see image for example).
This is just a small "Time Saving" request. But, Draw is great anyway...

this first thing that you must learn is the most important: "Arial" is a font. My name is Ariel. Although it's a name of an angel, my name comes from Shakespeare's books

And about your request: Yes, I understand your proposal. Imagine that you have an object with "Green" fill (C:100, M:0 Y:100 K:0), if you press and hold over the swatch of the color palette you'll see the shades of the selected color.
If you want to manually create a lighter shade, select the object and Ctrl + click over the "White" swatch of the color palette. If you want darker shades, Ctrl + click over the last swatch of the CMYK color palette (C100 M100 Y100 K100). Each Ctrl + click will create a lighter or darker tone
In addition to what Ariel said, remember there are two kinds of text in Draw; Artistic (click with the Text tool) and Paragraph text (click and drag a marquee).The Artistic text gives you more freedom to manipulate the text, while the Paragraph text is better for larger text blocks, and you can add tabs, drop caps and other stuff.It is possible to covert from one to the other with Ctrl+F8, but you may lose some text mode specific attributes.
