I guess I'm blind, I'm not seeing the color curves.  Can someone point it out?

Right click on a color and you can define a color gradient instead of a solid color.

Don't give away the answers Sean....it's a treasure hunt.

I would have never guessed to right click on the color select box. Thanks.

There is a lot real estate in the color dialog. Maybe put a small text or tooltip to specify right click for gradients?

C'mon to FB we'll make sure to find you a friend.

I was on FB early on and got tired of people poking me. 

It's all fun and games until you get you eye poked!

Facebook is blocked for a lot of people, at least for me and about 80% of the people I know. I know that may be hard to believe, but some employers would rather have us work.

By the way, I like the gradients. So many cool features to work with.
