It is highly recommended that you create a new gradient even if you
just want to change the two colors, rather than modifying the
predefined ones, which should be used only as starting points.
To create a new gradient:
1) First choose the From and To colors.

selection
2) Then choose a type of gradient from the list: Linear, Axial, Radial,
Ellipsoid, Square or Rectangular.
A preview of the gradient type is shown under the available
gradients list in the middle of the dialog box. Figure 105 shows an
example.

3) Depending on the chosen type some options will be grayed out.
Set all the properties as desired (very often the default values will
work well). The properties to set to create a gradient are
summarized in Table 3.
4) Click the Add button to add the newly created gradient to the list.
Tip
The newly created gradients remain available to all the OOo
components and also for future presentations. It pays to give
them a memorable name.
