alsnow, welcome to TalkGraphics. If you can save and attache your XAR file maybe we can see what's going on with your gradient fill. Until then I'm attaching an XX5 file with a linear gradient so you can see how it is accomplished. I'm also attaching a video from Xara.com, it's an introductory movie showing how to fill objects entitled Fills: Using linear, circular, elliptical and conical fills
I hope this helps you out,
Harry
