I cannot figure out how to make a desktop gradient in 18.04 (upgraded from 16.04, and there it was simply in the settings, but seems to be gone in 18.04 :-(( THANKS!

Are you referring to the solid color gradient for desktop background? – doug Nov 05 '18 at 12:18

First set any color from settings>background>background>color
I use https://www.color-hex.com/ this website for choosing colors.
then run below commands
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background color-shading-type 'horizontal'
you may put 'vertical' also
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background primary-color '#456789'
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background secondary-color '#000000'
Example
pratap@pratap:~$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background color-shading-type 'horizontal'
pratap@pratap:~$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background primary-color '#456789'
pratap@pratap:~$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background secondary-color '#000000'
pratap@pratap:~$
replace any color you want in above commands.
Horizontal Grading
Vertical Grading

Hello, What if I want to factory reset these background settings back to normal? – Vin Raghav Oct 04 '21 at 11:18
