The Color option specifies the beginning and ending gradient colors, which are displayed, respectively, in the left and right boxes, or color stops. Double‑click a color stop to choose a color. Drag the color stops to adjust the transition smoothness between the colors.
The Color Stop Color option and the Color Stop Opacity option specify the color and opacity of the selected color stop. Click the triangle above the color stop you want to define and make adjustments as necessary. The Angle option (available for Linear Gradient only) specifies the angle of the gradient.
