2.10 Gradient Tool

[gazza]

I am trying to follow a tutorial which requires a step using the gradient tool. For some reason, I cannot get the tool to give me a "Linear HSV" or any other colour type for that matter. I set it to linear, but the description tell me it is "Clockwise" or "Anticlockwise". Hence the gradient does not give the required Foreground to Background gradient I am suppose to achieve. Can somebody give me some advice on this please.

Regards
