I've managed to create the gradient... but I had no idea how to use it
as a background for a label or button.
And yes, I've read the documentation... that's how I managed to create
it, but never could determine what to do with the thing once it was
ceated.
the text label backcolor property wont take an image I suppose, so I'd
have to draw the image + text and use it as a button?
