------- Additional comments from [email protected] Wed Mar 10 14:15:58 +0000 2010 ------- Users who want to set a gradient background for their presentation, follow the path 'Format -> Page -> Background -> Fill -> Gradient', and select a pre-defined gradient pattern. But it's really pain for a user to find a way for defining a custom gradient pattern, for example from white to black vertically. In this forum link[1], a user want to set a custom gradient background and some says "easiest way is to use a simple shape / textbox as background". This means finding a to define custom gradient pattern is too complex. The correct way is defining a gradint using path'Format -> Area -> Gradients -> Add...', and then selecting defined gradient using 'Format -> Page -> Background -> Fill -> Gradient', but this is hard to find. I suggest that, same gradient editor should be accessible under 'Format -> Page -> Background -> Fill -> Gradient' section.
