setting ad hoc gradient backgrounds in activity

Question

Can we support the ad hoc gradient notations in the activity diagrams as follows?

partition #red/#white testPartition {

        #blue/#white:testActivity;

}

 

Currently you can do this only globally by specifying the skinparams:

skinparam partitionBackgroundColor red/white

skinparam activityBackgroundColor blue/white

Good idea!

With last beta:

You can now have:

@startuml
start
partition #red/white testPartition {
        #blue\green:testActivity;
}
@enduml

Is this what you are looking for ?

Yes, many thanks! Please release :)

there is one issue. Shouldn't this work too?

<back:#FF9999/white>#FF9999/white</back>

---

You mean, in something like:

@startuml
start;
:hello <back:#FF9999/white>there</back>;
@enduml

So not related to partition ?

yes, so i could do this same style in a legend

Ok.
This should be possible with last beta
