Steps to apply gradient colors using the Property List

Before you begin

  • This is not a full procedure; it is used as part of another procedure. For example, it assumes that you have selected the object to format and that the Property List is displayed.

  • To return to the original procedure, use the Back button in the Help toolbar.

Gradient colors blend two colors to create a gradual color change in the background of the control.

To apply gradient colors

  1. In Backcolor, select the first color to apply, using the Color dialog box.

  2. In Gradient color, select the second color to use to create a gradual color change in the background of the text field. The Backcolor and Gradient Color are blended together.

  3. In Gradient variant, specify the direction of the shading between the Backcolor and Gradient Color. The options are:

    • Left to Right

    • Right to Left

    • Top to Bottom

    • Bottom to Top

    • Horizontal Centered

    • Vertical Centered

      If you choose Horizontal centered or Vertical centered, you are applying a three-way or mirror gradient, which can be displayed in Flash Mode (MicroStrategy Web) only. In other MicroStrategy Web view modes and in MicroStrategy Developer, three-way gradients are rendered as non-mirrored gradients. For more information, see Applying three-way (mirror) gradients.
