Re: [proposal] Add Symphony gradients
Hi List, okay, added and comitted. I played around with an office where these are installed, it's really much better to use these gradients. I would even propose to move them to the top of the list, so that they will be seen immediately when looking for a gradient, and not the old ones disturbing the eye. What do you think?

What do you think? good idea and we can think about the removal of some old ones How about: - moving the three Symphony grey to the top, followed by the rest (when just moving all symphony to the top, yellow would be first, I think grey is better) - Keep the old (removing is always hard, which to remove?), but sort them a little bit to look better. Move the most useful ones more to the top (but after symphony ones) Useful ones from the old: gradient 1 gradient 3 linear blue/white linear yellow/brown radial red/yellow axial light red/white the rest...maybe really remove...

Re: [proposal] Add Symphony gradients
+1, the symphony gradients feel softer, they aren't screaming attention. We might want to offer those for less distraction when they user 'feels' for it.

To have them additionally gives the user a better choice when they look for some more smooth gradients (e.g., compare the AOO white-red-white with a Symphony grey) and more color variants. Marcus
