Re: [Gimp-user] paint with color from gradient

[Helen <etters h gmail com>]

ok thanks I finally found that.  Playing with the fade length helps, but it
still doesn't behave like "Color from Gradient" in 2.6.  What should be in
the text box to the right of the icon?  I sit here with gimp 2.8
on my desktop and 2.6 on my laptop, same two colors, and I can't get 2.8 to
make a smooth gradual transition like 2.6 does.  I'm trying different
settings in the text box to the right of the icon. "Fade tapering" seems to
get the closest.
