Random background color changer

Code:-


<script>

// Select fade-effect below:
// Set 1 if the background may fade from dark to medium
// Set 2 if the background may fade from light to medium
// Set 3 if the background may fade from very dark to very light light
// Set 4 if the background may fade from light to very light
// Set 5 if the background may fade from dark to very dark
var fade_effect=3

// What type of gradient should be applied Internet Explorer 5x or higher?
// Set "none" or "horizontal" or "vertical"
var gradient_effect="horizontal"

// Speed higher=slower
var speed=60
