Adding or modifying a preset gradient

Rather than add a new gradient switch to H2O theme settings, it is easier to modify the stylesheet for a theme preset you don't like. 

In this example we'll modify the "Blue" stylesheet. 

1. In H2O theme settings, select the "Blue" preset 
2. The colour definitions are stored in: yourforum.com/styles/Milk_v2/theme/colour-presets/Blue.css
3. Modify the colour and gradient values as desired

We recommend using a CSS3 gradient generator such as cssgradient.io to automatically generate new code for your own gradient.
