You can apply gradients of up to four colors to text. When you add a color gradient, TextCore applies gradient colors to each character in a text string.
Use the the <gradient>
rich text tags to apply color gradient presets to text objects. A gradient preset overrides the text’s local gradient type and colors.
To create a color gradient with one or more colors, and place it in a specific folder, follow these steps:
From the menu, select Assets > Create > Text > Color Gradient to add a new color gradient preset.
In the Color Gradient’s InspectorA Unity window that displays information about the currently selected GameObject, asset or project settings, allowing you to inspect and edit the values. More info
See in Glossary window, select a color mode from the dropdown menu:
Set the gradient colors. The number of colors available in the Colors field depends on the gradient mode you choose. Each swatch corresponds to the color’s origin on a character spriteA 2D graphic objects. If you are used to working in 3D, Sprites are essentially just standard textures but there are special techniques for combining and managing sprite textures for efficiency and convenience during development.

See in Glossary.
Place the color gradient asset into the path set for the Color Gradient Presets in the Panel Text Setting asset.
To apply a color gradient preset to text, reference the color gradient by name as <gradient="name-of-the-color-gradient">Your text</gradient>
. If you apply the color gradient like this, the color of the text is multiplied by the object’s current vertex colors.
To apply the pure gradient to a selection of text, use a <color>
tag to reset the color to white. For example:
<color=white><gradient="Light to Dark Green - Vertical">Light to Dark Green gradient</gradient></color>
The following shows color gradient examples for each mode.
A single-color gradient.
A side-to-side gradient with two colors.
An up-and-down gradient with two colors.
A gradient with four colors. Each color radiates from one corner. This is the most versatile gradient type. You can vary some colors and keep others identical to create different kinds of gradients.
This example shows three corners with one color and the fourth with a different color.
This example shows pairs of adjacent corners with the same color to create horizontal or vertical gradients.
This example shows pairs of diagonally opposite corners the same color to create diagonal gradients.
This example creates horizontal and vertical three-color gradients with a dominant color at one end and a transition between two colors at the other.
This example gives two diagonally opposite corners the same color and the other two corners different colors to create a diagonal stripe three-color gradient.
