Description
Instead of the basic colour widget in the UI element, could we have something like the colour widget from the particle system that allows us to define a gradient? And, of course, a way of setting the direction of the gradient?
We often need basic vertical or horisontal gradients in the UI so this would be very useful.

Research direction
Start by locating the UI element's basic colour widget and the particle system's colour widget, then compare how each represents colour. Implement gradient support with configurable vertical or horizontal direction, and verify that UI elements can display both basic colours and gradients.
