How to change Inkscape gradient colors?

Question

I created a gradient in Inkscape, but now no matter where I click, I can't change the colors of the existing gradient. I did check out this question, but it was totally unhelpful and the "documentation" here was not the UI I could summon from any logical place.

Here's a picture of what I see, I can only change the name here, very annoying:

When I try to change it from the bottom bar, either it switches to a constant fill, I can unset the fill/stroke but there's nothing else:

What's the weird place I should be looking at to find a way to change both of the gradient's colors?

In Inkscape 1.0, when you select the gradient (as in your 1st picture), then you can check the edit icon below (or alternatively, use the gradient editing tool by pressing G).

A guide with 2 nodes appears on your figure (in the canvas). You can select each node and change its colour, or you can double click in between and add more nodes.
