Illustrator Swatches Window - I like the new features, but...

Question

I've always wished the "Color" window and "Swatches" were sort of merged... I wont' bother explaining why its useful to keep the Swatches window open, as i have to assume everybody is constantly using this. I toggle over to the Color window when i'm viewing the color name and swapping the color/fill. In the latest update of Illustrator, they've updated Swatches to include a stroke and fill selector (as well as a list of recent colors, which is pretty cool). they've not however included the swapping arrow, or name of stroke, or that little default fill selection. can we please just add this little section to the top of swatches and i can pretty much be done with the Color window!

Hi @kidcre8ive,

Thanks for sharing your feedback and the comparison screenshots. I understand you'd like the Swatches panel to have the same top section as the Color panel, including the stroke and fill selector, swap arrow, color name, and default fill option.

I understand that this functionality is important to you, and I apologize for its unavailability at this time. Would you mind creating a UserVoice for this feature request (https://adobe.ly/4fGqPVA)and adding your comments there?

Doing this will help us prioritize this request, and you will be notified of any updates.
