How to change opacity with new gradient slider?

With new non destructive gradients I can change the color mix with the slider control, but I would like to modify the opacity. I see two sliders in the control panel. but I have to open the panel to change the opacity thingy.

Is it possible to do what I want? I mostly create one color gradients so the color slider mostly has no use for me. I've been looking around but don't seem to find what I'm looking for.

I'm adding a screenshot to try to explain myself to the best of my ability 😄

Thank you

Hi @Carola_BHG , you can click on the opacity stops and change the opacity for each of them. You can also add more opacity stops as needed and change their opacity as well.

Hi @Mihaela Ps and thank you for your reply, I know how to use the panel, been using those for decades. But it would be ideal for me to be able to change the opacity stops directly over the gradient. Now I can't do that since what I change is the color. I may infer from your answer that what I'm asking for is not possible, right? 😞

Edit: I opened a new topic as an idea.

When you work with monocrome gradients it doesn't make any sense to be able to change stops since it is all the same color, and you are not changing anything (moving the stops does nothing, whereas you could be moving opacity).
