[Title in the making.]
Surely by now you've seen somewhere on the forums that users have created some really neat text gradients. I know for most, it must look like a lot of effort to collect the correct shades and gradients in order to create something so effective. I am unsure if many users of the forum or any site know about this, but you can easily create some great looking gradient text on this
website
.
It's called Text Color Fader. It allows you you type your sentence(s), and use whichever colour(s) you like or are fond of.
Like this!

How to create your own.
All you really need to do is go to the website I provided above, and enter all the details as provided in the image below.
Options explained.
# of Colors
Pretty self explanatory, but the dropdown box lists a range of numbers which allows you to choose how many colours you may want in your fancy colour gradient text. You can have as little or as many as you're able.
Color Presets
The colour presets are basically colour gradients created by other people who have used the site and wanted to share their own style I suppose. Though, if you simply don't want to do that, then you're obviosly more than welcome and able to create a gradient of your own.
Colors
Self explanatory, but I do recommend writing the hex colours down somewhere so you are able to use them in future if you so happen to enjoy what colour gradient you have created.
Fade Type
Basically a drop down box that gives people the option on how to present their gradients. Horizontal allows your gradient to continue on the same line.
▸ Horizontal - Allows your gradient to fade continuously.
▸ Horizontal Line by Line - Allows your gradient to fade unevenly on each new line you make.
▸ Horizontal Line by Line Uniformly - Allows your gradient to fade equally on each new line you make.
▸ Horizontal Spin Back (multi-line) - A new dropdown box will appear named 'Spin Speed'. Depending on the speed, your gradient will act/rotate differently.
▸ Horizontal Spin Forward (multi-line) - Works exactly like the Horizontal Spin Back (multi-line) does, only reversed.
▸ Vertical - Assigns a different colour to each line you create, repeating the pattern once all colours are used.
Output Code
This is basically what allows the site to convert your sentence into a gradient using the coding for a certain forum. In this case,
'Standard Forum Code'
is recommended.
Result Display
This option allows you to display the converted text in either the same window, or a new one (new tab). Once you have converted, you will be able to see the coding, which you pretty much just need to copy and paste into a post in whatever forum you are using.
That's the end of this tutorial! If you need any help, don't hesitate to ask. Whether it's on the
Help Boards
,
on this thread or any recommended threads provided in the tutorial above.

Ooo, I remember seeing these being used frequently (and still are) on the IT server, Dragon's Den. Has always interested me how people do it, and now I have you to thank now that I know how. Thanks for the tutorial,

I believe I looked into how to do this one other time but never actually took the time to use a gradient in my posting. It's really a great way to decorate your threads. Thank you for the tutorial Bawfle.
