How can you compbine images .. for buttons

[wbmkk]

Hi

I want to make a double height button, which I will then position using the background command for my navigation states,ie a plain anchor and the hover state.

The top half will have a gradient of one color, then the bottom half a different gradient.

I'm sure if I could set a gradient from transparant to a color, then setting two layers with the different gradients would be easy, but it seems the gradient tool can not be set this way

A red to white gradient would hide the gradient below

Any help would be appreciated.

wbmkk,

In the Colors window click on More>>.

Set the Transparency - Alpha slider to zero

on either the Primary or Secondary color.

This gives a transparent to color gradient

when the gradient tool is set to Color Mode.
