[You might also want to post this question to the foxgui-users mailing 
list, since it's not FXRuby-specific.]

I'm pretty sure that the disk used for the FXColorWheel is an FXImage 
with dithering turned on, and that's what's creating the gradient-like 
effect. Other than that, I don't think there was much support for 
painting with gradients in FOX 1.0. FOX 1.2 (available sometime in the 
future) will have better support for this, I think, but that's still a 
ways off, I think.
