Yes absolutely. In Indexed mode the gradient is the colors linearly through the palette between the foreground and background colors. If that's 5 palette entries that's 5 colors in your gradient, if it's 32 colors then that. In RGB mode a gradient is built algorithmicaly between your foreground and background color and there's a slider to adjust how many steps you want, so if you want two colors you can have that and if you want 32 colors between then you can have that. Hope that makes sense.
I now see that you mean more than two actual colors, not steps between, and the answer is still yes in Indexed mode but I don't yet have a video demoing that. I'll make one soon.
Thanks, I tried it in the demo. It works really well! For indexed dithering it would be nice if there was an option to chose a Bayer matrix, like 2x2, 4x4, 8x8.
In the settings panel there are dither options, Halftone dots, halftone lines, Bayer 4x4 and blue noise. I could add the other Bayer matrixes as options. - watch this space

hello again 🙋♂️👋, we already had contact in a Facebook pixel-art group… I have asked for a MAC port/release. Any chance for it in the future? 🙏😎
Hi, is it possible to make dithered gradients with more than 2 colors in DSprite?
Yes absolutely. In Indexed mode the gradient is the colors linearly through the palette between the foreground and background colors.

Here's a short video that demonstrated the RGB mode version
Thanks, that sounds really cool!

Just added a screenshot that demonstrates the multicolor gradients in Indexed mode

amm impresive tool selection indeed.
