Gradient doesn't use FG/BG colors
Last modified: 2003-12-02 15:12:25 UTC
To duplicate: 1. Start to create a new gradient. 2. Right Click and change the Foreground or background color: Either click on Load Left Color From or Load Right Color From Then choose either FG or BG 3. Save the gradient 4. Change the foreground and/or background color (depending on what you changed in Step 2. Ie. if you have it load from FG then change the foreground color in Gimp's toolbox). The gradient does not pick up the foreground and/or background color, just keeps the same color it was created with.
GIMP doesn't support such dynamic gradients; thus the behaviour you see is correct. You could file an enhancement request asking to add this functionality.
Thanks, Sven... I'll resubmit it as an enhancement request.
