why dont you do something like this:
Code:
body {
    [B]background: white url(whatever.gif) repeat-x top;[/B]
}
thatll stretch your gradient across the top while setting the page background to white

edit: oh shit, do you mean having the diagonal lines fade out over some sort of gradient?

if its in a site already, as always, check how the site does it.

Create 2 layers:

1. bottom layer, white background, black foreground.
2. top layer. solid color of your choice.
3. select bottom layer, use gradient tool to create a fade black to white (or white to black)
4. select top layer. set mode to addition. flatten image, done.

I can make a tutorial for GIMP if you like. But those are the basics.
 
I don't know what software you're using, but in Fireworks, there's a transparency option in the gradient, on top of the bar, with the colours below. I would set up the green with diagonal lines, and then on top of that, put a solid white rectangle, and gradient it to transparent from bottom to top. I think that will give you the effect you want.
 
oh doh i thought you wanted a solution where all you had to do was change a hex value (ie in a CSS document) :X i could have told ya that
 
Creating it from scratch is pretty easy with the gradient tool but depending on situation these might be easier:

Photoshop -> Image -> Adjustments -> Variations (very nice/quick/easy - see attached)

or

Layer -> New Adjustment Layer -> Color Balance
