# Gradients

In this chapter, you will discover how to:

- Add a gradient to a section or a title.
- Add your own gradient to the Website Builder palette.

## Standard

In standard, you can select several gradients directly from the Website Builder. However, for custom
themes, you must add the gradients directly in the section tag with a style attribute.

**Use**

```xml
<section class="s_text_image" data-snippet="s_text_image" data-name="Text - Image" style="background-image: linear-gradient(135deg, rgb(255, 204, 51) 0%, rgb(226, 51, 255) 100%) !important;">
    <!-- Content -->
</section>
```

To apply a gradient to text, use a font tag with the `text-gradient` class.

```xml
<h2>
    <font class="text-gradient" style="background-image: linear-gradient(135deg, rgb(203, 94, 238) 0%, rgb(75, 225, 236) 100%);">A Section Subtitle</font>
</h2>
```

## Custom

You can also add your own custom gradients to the Website Builder. This way, the user can easily
use them without manually recreating them.

```{code-block} xml
:caption: '``/website_airproof/data/presets.xml``'

<record id="colorpicker" model="ir.ui.view">
    <field name="key">website_airproof.colorpicker</field>
