OK - now we all know how to make gradients using our weapon-of-choice image editor, but surely it could be easier than that ?

Well from the guy who brought you PNG24 transparent images in IE without that grey box rendering effect comes the next big thing - gradients on the fly! Dynamic images, that will be cached by your browser and can be written to the server if required (not yet implemented).

All you need is a text editor, and an array of Hex colour codes to match your forum, and you are ready to rock and roll.

Upload the following new files:

forumroot/images/gradients/gradient.php
forumroot/includes/class.gradient_image.php

The forumroot/images/gradients/gradient.php file has instructions for usage in the comments - the class I have used is from phpclasses.org - please read the licensing requirements if you plan on using this in a for-profit situation.

Demo: Demonstration of three different styles of gradient, with four different colours each - take a look @ the html source for how I am doing each image...

Any questions?

The demo doesn't work for me either.
