It does not appear to be possible on a standard text frame at present. My approach would be to create a shape that matched the text frame and add a gradient to that. > 2) Does Scribus have a styles mechanism, Paragraph and line styles, yes.

While no expert, I'm under the impression that this it not supported by the styles mechanism. Object styles could be nice though... (*goes and jots that down*). Currently I'm not aware of a way to do things like alter object positions or shapes via styles. -- Craig Ringer
