I find it very difficult to format my text colors when using a text effect. For some reason, Spark only shows you the one color intstead of the two colors (i.e. text and outline colors or text and shadow colors. etc). Under the current interface options, you can only choose from the pre-formatted/suggested two-color options and then have to manually "customize" until you get to the color combo you want.
Then, gosh forbid you work with another element and want to come back to the text and change the colors again, you have to shuffle and customize all over again.
PLEASE FIX THIS. I would upload a screenshot but there's no way to do that here.
