Gradient background of a screen.

Question

Hi all,
 If anybody have managed to implement gradient background color of a screen?
 There is one example in Developers Knowledge Base how to change the background color of a screen. It is working fine for me but if I use
         int[] X_PTS = { 0, 0, width, width};       
         int[] Y_PTS = { 0, height, height, 0 };       
         int[] drawColors = { 0x0000CC, 0x0000CC, 0xCC0000, 0xCC0000 };       
         try {           
             g.drawShadedFilledPath(X_PTS, Y_PTS, null, drawColors, null);       
         } catch (IllegalArgumentException iae) {
            System.out.println("Bad arguments.");
 instead of g.setBackgroundColor(Blue_color);
does not work for me.
 Any idea?
 Is there is just one way to rewrite the paint() for fields on top of screen as well?
 Thank you for help in advance.

I just saw your post.
I hope by now you might have found an answer... but if someone else stumbles upon, here is the solution:
public void paint(Graphics graphics) {
//Variables for drawing the gradient
int[] X_PTS_MAIN = { 0, Display.getWidth(), Display.getWidth(), 0};
int[] Y_PTS_MAIN = { 0, 0, Display.getHeight(), Display.getHeight()};
int[] drawColors_MAIN = { backgroundColor, backgroundColor, backgroundShadingColor, backgroundShadingColor};
try {
//Draw the gradients
graphics.drawShadedFilledPath(X_PTS_MAIN, Y_PTS_MAIN, null, drawColors_MAIN, null);
} catch (IllegalArgumentException iae) {
System.out.println("Bad arguments.");
super.paint(graphics);
Please marked as solved, if that is what you were after,.
