just a rectangular shape would be the better choice...

a linear gradient is exactly what you're searching for. try 'move vector'.

Can you explain how to use the "move vectore" function ?
thx

hi frdt

       
  • select ,gradient' and ,linear'
  • click one of the triangles and select the desired color and shade (repeat this step with the other triangle and create more of them if needed...)
  • click ,move vector' and move the magenta colored handles around the canvas or edit the values in the ,gradient vector' window
