+    + Implemented: application of constructed gradients to hbIDE components. 
+      Now n number of gradients can be defined to be applied to 
+      hbIDE. "Toggle Animation" respects these settings as well.
+      <Setup Dialog><Themes> provides you with necessary constructs
+      to define and apply. Still the last applied is not saved: TODO.
+      So next run will revert to defaults as per animation mode.
