Example backdrop no. 2

This backdrop uses a linear transparency on the red rectangle to fade it into the black one. Because a graduated fill is used, this image will dither on 256-colour screens, and so the backdrop GIF has been made ten pixels high to minimise the patterning caused be vertical tiling. See the version of this page with a one-pixel-high backdrop for an example of the problem (view the page in a 256-colour mode).
