Research direction
The issue requests adding gradient support to the Theme Editor. Examine the ThemeEditor widget in Cutter's codebase (likely under src/gui/) to understand how solid colors are currently handled. Extend the color picker to support gradient stops and modify the stylesheet generation accordingly. No linked PRs or recent activity; the initial comments may provide additional context.
