Gradients and xfades?

Phoenix's icon

Hello.

I am working on a project with max for the first time and have become stuck. What I am trying to do is set a certain two colours in a jit.pwindow that change using sliders. E.g. I change one half of the window from red to black using a slider, and the other half from green to blue using a different slider. I have being trying to use xfade and gradient to do this, but they seem incompatible with each other. Is there something obvious i'm missing?

Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

Here is the code I have now, hopefully it shows what I am trying to do.

My overall goal here is to link these four windows in a way where they change saturation and colour based on sliders, then link the sliders up to something else that moves them automatically. If i'm going about that a weird way please tell me.

it's not clear from your patch what you are trying to achieve.
do you want to combine these four gradients into a single matrix?
