exporting gradient

Postby atonau » Wed Dec 30, 2009 1:53 am

I had use inkscape for a time... but, of course, still there are a lot of things a do not know how to use and do... right now i had try to make a wallpaper for Puppy Linux (my favorite distro)... i made a gradient background... but when i export it to png the gradient disapears... does someone know what may a do to keep it in the final file???... can i export it (wile in windows) to another format???

I had attached both svg and png to show my trouble...

Any comment will be really nice to me.

It looks like the first colour on the background gradient has its opacity set to 0. Click on the rectangle, then click on the gradient tool (G) and select the first node (the one on the left). In Object > Fill and Stroke set the Opacity to 100%. You may then need to select the colour to be white again.

If all else fails I'll reattach a fixed copy of your image (which is rather cool btw)
