Rao As you know I use Functions to paint my screen Gradients .. for some reason the DarkGreyGrad() functions paints much slower than the LightGreyGrad) FUnction ... especially with FWH2310 ... older versions of FWH are not effected ... //--------------------Func ...

I am a bit perplexed ? ... These functions work just fine for me ... what have I done wrong or need to change ?

Thanks
Rick Lipkin

ps, I have noticed with newer versions of FWH that the above gradients paint slower than in previous versions of FWH

... XBrowse paints each cell, evaluating all the code-blocks for each cell. Obviously too many graphics, embellishments and conditional colors, gradients slow down further. You need to strike a balance between looks and speed in each case. No user likes a sluggish performance.

I explained how to make horizontal gradient. We can make angular gradients too and also use alpha colors. In all cases, final appearance depends on choice of colors and percent values. I not think it is angular gradient the number 1 much lighter and the ...

... works quite nicely ... once you issue SetDlgGradient() it becomes the default windows and dialog background.. I have given you several different gradients ..

Thank you, Rick. There are some nice and useful gradiants in your post. Your gradients and the profound explanations of Mr. Rao helped me a lot to understand and use gradients. But I just can't understand that when Mr. Rao stated All sizes are fractions less than ...

Antonio, Here is what your new gradient shadow looks like. It is very strange that it is also showing gradients along the length of the shadow. And it is not showing the shadow on the top of the panel. Note that I only added the new shadow to the large panel. https://i.postimg.cc/ZqDcQTMB/Win10-Fluent-Design-Test3.png ...
