Gradient

Gradient

Gradient is a small Amiga Commodity which drives one or more Workbench color registers from a user defined copperlist, painting smooth dithered vertical gradients across the desktop.

It runs as a background broker registered with Commodities Exchange (so you can show / hide / disable / remove it through the standard Exchange app), keeps its settings in ENVARC:Gradient.prefs, and is fully WHDLoad-safe.

Install & configure

  1. Download Gradient and Gradient.info from the GitHub releases page: https://github.com/arttu76/gradient/releases
  2. Copy both files into SYS:WBStartup/:
    copy Gradient SYS:WBStartup/
    copy Gradient.info SYS:WBStartup/
    That's it - the shipped icon already has the right tooltypes (DONOTWAIT and BACKGROUND), so Gradient will start silently at every boot.
  3. To configure or tweak the gradient, open System > WBStartup on Workbench and double-click Gradient to bring up the editor. Adjust the stops with the R / G / B / Y sliders, then Save (writes both ENVARC: and ENV: - persists across reboots) or Use (writes ENV: only - lost on reboot).
