The transparency is between 0 and 100, with 0 being fully opaque and 100 being fully transparent.
- Gradient Fill: Fill with the color gradient instead of the fill symbol specified at Step 1. The two-color gradient from ForeColor to BackColor will be employed.
- Parameters for Gradient Fill:
Gradient Mode: The mode of the gradient fill. 5 modes are provided.
(1) None: Fill with the fill symbol specified at Step 1 instead of the color gradient.
(2) Linear: The linear gradient is the most basic of all gradients, a simple linear transition between two colors.
(3) Radial: Radial gradient that starts from the gradient center.
(4) Conical: Conical gradient that looks like a cone.
(5) Square: The square gradient produces a square blend, imitating the visual perspective in a corridor or the aerial view of a pyramid.
