The gradient is used when there is not enough space to
show all lines and you have to scroll to see them.

The IDE shows the last line of the FPC output, so you see, where the
compiler is currently working. Once the compilation is finished only the
errors/hints/notes are shown.
Lazarus 1.2.x also shows the Linking line only for a brief moment.
