title: Linear Gradient Brush Fade WPF
body: <p>I have a brush that colors the background of a header. I like the way the brush looks but would like it to fade to transparent in the bottom third. Any ideas how to do this?</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;LinearGradientBrush 
    x:Key="HeaderBackgroundBrush" 
    EndPoint=".5,1" 
    StartPoint="1,0"&gt;
    &lt;GradientStop Color="#006699" Offset="1"/&gt;
    &lt;GradientStop Color="#80A8CC" Offset="0.5"/&gt;
  &lt;/LinearGradientBrush&gt;
  </code></pre>
