<para>Specifies that a gradient should be used as a background instead of a
solid color. The gradient colors start at <emphasis remap='I'>color1</emphasis> and end at
<emphasis remap='I'>colorN</emphasis>. Each color has an <emphasis remap='I'>offset</emphasis> associated with it. The
<emphasis remap='I'>offset</emphasis> is a number between 0.0 and 1.0, and specifies where in
the gradient the colors are to be placed.  The colors are in one of the <ulink url="ColorScheme#color_values">color formats</ulink> supported by AfterStep.
At least two colors must be given. 
If gradient includes at least one transparent color ( alpha value set to be below FF ), gradient will be alpha-blended over the
root background image.
The offsets are non-decreasing numbers between 0.0 and 1.0. If the first offset is not
0.0, it will be set to 0.0. If the last offset is not 1.0, it will be
set to 1.0. <emphasis remap='I'>type</emphasis> may be any of the following:</para>

<literallayout remap='.nf'>
6: Top-Left to Bottom Right diagonal
7: Bottom-Left to Top-Right diagonal
8: Vertical Top to Bottom
9: Horizontal Left to Right
