How do you change the color in one screen?

I've seen projects where people have made a screen where it's white at the bottom, and turns into blue as the screen goes up. I want to know how to do that! Can anyone help me?

Re: How do you change the color in one screen?

It's called a "Gradient." Go into the Paint Editor, click on one colour you'd like, and then you'll notice a little square change to that colour. Click on the square, and it should become a different colour (by switching with the square on top of it). Then click the second colour you'd like, and choose the fill option. There are four options underneath the selection, one of which should look like what you'd like.

I realize that's a bit confusing. If you'd like me to provide images, I'd be more than happy to later on.  smile

Thank you! But, it is a little confusing, though. Can you provide an image, please?

Absolutely!  big_smile  I know, I didn't right that particularly clearly.

Just do things in the order the blue numbers tell you to, and you're good to go! Do the big box thing last, though - I forgot to number that.  tongue
