I tried to fill a rectangle with a gradient background.
Problem is that the gradient doesn't look good.
Here's an example:

Are my settings not right or is this the best it can look?
I want it to be more fluent, more gradient.
Now if you look closely you can see 7 different colours.

Does make a difference.....16 to 32. I'm surprised your not running 32 normally. |

Just figured it out.
Because I added a second monitor my main monitor was set back from 32 bits to 16 bits.
When I removed the second monitor I was able to set the main monitor back to 32 bits and then it was okay.

Hmmm,
First I looked upt the properties of the project and checked the png32 option, but that didn't make a difference???
Then I exported the file as JPG byt again, no fluent gradient?
I'm a bit lost now...

Toon,
you exported your shape as standard so D.H.E. converted it to 256 colors because the shape is transparent (the shadow is semi-transparent, and you can see 7 different colors)
In order to enhance colors you need to:
a- remove the transparency (choose to export the shape as .jpg or remove che "Transparent Canvas" flag in the object properties
or
b- turn on the PNG32 support

1996...h-m-m...I guess that makes color out of date. :-D
The only detraction I would say from the article would be the "almost" universal acceptance of .png, but the other formats still have many functionary purposes, that can't be dismissed.
My idea was for you to view the color pallete to find more selections to use in forming your gradient. |

Don't limit your selection to the available color pallete.
Here's a couple more, and some good reading.

This is a radial gradient.
I'm sure the tool should work okay in DHE.
The functions in the program you've mentioned are almost the same as in DHE? |

Are you trying to achieve a linear or radial gradient? Seems radial as I see it. I use an application called Colorcop when selecting colors for usage on my projects...I find it indespensible.
