GradientView

The GradientView command toggles gradient view mode.

Displays a customizable color gradient as a viewport background.

Defaults to two colors top-to-bottom.

The command acts as a "toggle." Run it once to turn gradient background on, run it again to turn it off.

Note: This command only affects display modes where the Background is set to use Application Settings.
