in your tool pallette you have a foreground and a background color!.
click and drag the colors to the little bucket markers at the bottom of your gradient!.

it's been a while since I have done this!.!.!.!. you want to drag a no-color into the left side (the red diagonal line) and drag your fill color to the right side

been a while so you may have to drag from your color palette if the tool palette thing doesn't work!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
