Sorry for the delay. My internet at home went down over the weekend. Here are 4 example pictures of what I am trying to accomplish but cannot find an easy way to do without making the animation really choppy, or taking forever to draw each frame. Sorry for the huge resolution.

Another question I forgot to ask about on this one. Is there an easy way to save each layer into its own file (with incremented number). Once I am done I will need to save each frame to its own file and they each need to be numbered in order (AKA. background_01.png, background_02.png, etc.) Is there a plugin or setting to do that?

I am not sure the layer shifting will work because the end point is always supposed to be 400x850 so the gradient will pivot around the center of the screen. With shifting the layer, the gradient will stay pointed to the same direction and just move across the screen. Where is the best place for me to suggest this as a feature for a future version of Paint.NET? Thanks for the suggestions. I guess I just need to get started and do this manually.

Hello, I am a long time Paint.NET user (VERY long time) and I am working on an animated background for MythTV but am running into a problem. My background is just a solid blue color with a blue/white conical gradient that is supposed to be animated and move across the bottom of the screen. The problem I am having is it is very difficult to make the gradient exactly the same for every frame of the animation. I want to be able to always start my gradient at the same horizontal level of the screen (800px) and the end point is always 800px X 400px. The only difference is the starting point shifts by 10px every frame. Is there anyway to get advanced gradient settings so I can just type in the exact start/end points instead of trying to use the mouse to match up the gradient start and end points for 100+ frames? Thanks for your help.
