No transparency sliders or color pickers, way harder to use than Project Siena

With Project Siena, I can select the Fill properties of an object in Express View and see a color picker and a slider for transparency. The color picker also keeps any previously configured custom colors and transparencies making it easy to re-use on a different screen. With Power Apps, it’s a guessing game on the color and there are no sliders. Yes, you can type Yellow and see a poor selection of color names, but this is far inferior to Project Siena.

    Hey, Barb: have you tried the Fill button on the Home tab of the ribbon?

    that is buggy and does not work well/completely. the "alpha" slider doesn't seem
    to work, using a HEX color does not seem to work unless you hit the enter key
    after typing/pasting in your HEX #. you can edit the ,1 to .6 for transparency,
    but honestly, all of this should be in Advanced View (the equivalent of Express
    View in Project Siena. You shouldn't have to leave Express view and go clicking
    all over the screen and then go back to Express view. Too many keystrokes.
     
    I guess I should have said no color pickers in Advanced View, no working sliders
    for transparencies, way harder to use than Project Siena. Recent colors requires
    scrolling and isn't inline with "standard" colors. Don't know how "theme colors"
    are determined. Just too much mousing and clicking around and functionality that
    should be there isn't there. I'm accustomed to working in Express View where I
    can control all properties of any object in one place.
