Problem with SetGradientColors()

It's using the [0,1] range.

I actually got it to work. The problem is not with the function, it works fine. Looks like there's two issues to consider here :

- first, if you're changing the alpha of a parent control using SetAlpha(), then the alpha values set by SetGradientColors() gets overriden.

- also, I was calling the function early in the initialization of my addon, but when I call it at runtime with zgoo, then it works. Considering I was doing this with a test control on which I didn't touch the alpha values of any parents on initialization, I guess that when the UI is loaded something must happen that changes the alpha of the control or its parent to 1.
