Simple Background Gradient

[xroot]

Here is a very simple background gradient script.

No need for dll calls and with a very small amount of code.

So if you need or want background gradient in your app. this might work for you.

Change the sColor and eColor for different start and end color gradient.

Go and have some fun.
