GradientComposite

Introduction

This is a composite that displays a gradient in its background.

Usage

The gradient composite is a composite with just a little taste of color behind :) By default, the gradient behind is grey to white. You can change the colors by modifying the "gradientEnd" and "gradientStart" properties.

The usage is similar to the Composite widget :

final GradientComposite composite = new GradientComposite(shell, SWT.NONE);
composite.setGradientEnd(display.getSystemColor(SWT.COLOR_WHITE));
composite.setGradientStart(display.getSystemColor(SWT.COLOR_DARK_RED));
