you can do that perfectly...

Simply select your end color using the "format codes" button, remember it (or copy it) and choose your start color using the "format codes" button. Then simply copy that number you remembered at the end... done.

(and this explanation sounds even faaaaar more complicated than it actually is; it only takes 2 steps)

An even more simple way of doing this so that you don't forget the number or anything is as follows:

1. Press "Format Tags" button
   
2. Click the "T" in the top right corner of the box that pops up
   
3. Go to "Gadient Text" and click it
   
4. Select your start colour
   
5. Select your end colour
   
6. Click "Ok" or "Apply" to make you diplay name coloured

It might seem like a lot of steps but I took baby steps so people don't get confused

Btw, I'll still add this feature to the next version because it isn't hard at all

the above procedure also applies to gradient backgrounds just replace the words "Gradient Text" with "Gradient background", while i know it does seem pretty easy that way i am still glad markee wants to put the nickname gradiator in the next version as although the above procedure is easy enough if you later decide the selected gradient wasnt what you wanted and only wanted to change 1 of the 2 colurs you still have to repeat the whole procedure again selecting both colours where as if it was part of gradient you would just click on the color icon next to which ever color you wanted to change which therefore saves the user a bit of time. thanks markee your the best.

For all you french speaking people who would like a copy of gradient it has been translated by Flo.  If anyone else would like to translate a version of gradient it will be greatly appreciated.

Btw thank you all for downloading our script, it makes me feel as if I have done something great (even though Message Gradiator gets more downloads per day than us ).  Be on the look out for the next version of gradient soon, there is going to be a whole lot of new features that I hope you will enjoy (far more than the makers of Message Gradiator ever included ).

Anyway, the french version of the script can be found below.

Thanks guys for adding gradient background. Dunno if this brought up already, however can you fix a minor annoyance where gradient background doesn't end where the text does. It ends one character after the last text. It doesn't look good with emoticons

yes i too have noticed this it puts a blank space in after the text every time you use a background which if someone was being perdantic about grammar would make it look like the person using the gradient background is always stopping and sending out there messages mid sentance, which of course could confuse the recipiants. but hey other than that minor annoyance you got a great script going here keep up the good work guys.

we have this once space at the end so that the bat emoticon doesnt come up if u end with : sorry about this but its the only way

How about only having the space if there is a : just before it?

it would be possable but we are WAY to busy with other stuff for gradient sorry cant tell and dont hold your breathe for the next version it will be a little further away

Sorry I didn't think of that when I put it in.  I will put this in the next version along with the big changes I'm making.  The next version is going to take me a while to do,  I've spent about a whole days work on it so far and I'd be lucky if I was even a quarter of the way through what I am planning on doing.  I'm not revealing anything but I think you will like the improvements ([rant]hopefully we will start getting more downloads than message gradiator[/rant]).

Keep the advice coming, I always like hearing what you have to say

EDIT: Btw, it is going to take even longer to finish the rest of the next version because I have 2 midsemester and a couple of assignments in the next couple of weeks, though coding this is always a nice way to de-stress after study
