Gradients with transparency in a bitmap can be used and created with gradient editor in Gimp. I was able to recreate the effects on your gnome link using it (background color to transparency over it).
I vote in favor of closing the list to non-subscribers also.

Is it possible? ....... But imagine that the mirrored word 'gnome' is available as bitmap only. That can't be done easily, because you cannot change the transparency as a gradient. At least as far a I could figure out. Or maybe I am missing something.

Again, the decision to do this is up to the users of this list. If, say, a dozen member of this list voice in favor of doing this, and no one votes no, I will make the change.
