I switched to the new version from Muse, and can not find scale parameter under Gradient Fill in Effects anymore. Was it moved somewhere else?

Not sure what "scale parameter" relates to a gradient fill but maybe you mean Style->Fill->Gradient?

Hi, Ellen, i'll try to be more specific, there was an option to define how much percentage of the gradient fill "fits" into a drawn shape that's being filled

Like if i drew a square of 10 cm, i could set that my gradient, say yellow-green it scaled to 100% - that'd mean that both yellow and green are part of the square. If i choose 200% - the gradient would stretch and so i would see only half of the spectrum in the square.

Quite messy being explained in words, but hope i was clear

The percentage label will appear when you move the swatch handles (Color stops and Midpoint Sliders). Is that´s what you want?

Could you drop us a line at support@pixelmator.com? If you could tell us more about the device and the Pixelmator Pro version you're using that would be really helpful.
