Currently the cell background could only be set to a solid color. The idea is to extend this to gradients.

This should be fixed with Bug 105225 - Color palette cannot be chosen in various places

Question is whether the file format allows gradients. And if that is the case we should go ahead for compatibility. Otherwise I would say out of scope for Calc.

The current ODF 1.3 does not allow gradients for single cells and not for whole tables. That is the same for tables in Writer as for tables in Calc. So who wants to work on this, needs to come up with a concept, how to extend the file format, ideally before starting to implement something.
