Gradient Component

The gradient can be used as backgrounds to give the graphic a less "flat" look, or as a box to surround and help visually separate other components. Note that you will usually need to right-click the gradient and select "Send to back" or it will cover and hide other components.

Start Color

This is the starting color of the gradient.

End Color

This is the ending color of the gradient.

The start and end color should usually be fairly close, for example, black and gray. Large or wild color changes (purple to yellow) can be very distracting to many people and make the whole system look less professional.

Gradient Angle

This is the angle of the gradient. It can be set to any valid angle (0-360).

Border Color

This is the color of the solid border surrounding the gradient.

Border Size

This is the size of the solid border surrounding the gradient. Set this to zero for no border.

Alpha

This is the "Alpha" or transparency of the entire gradient and border. Zero is fully transparent, 1 is fully opaque.
