Yes, but maybe the algorithm of enlarging a gradient rectangle should be
different than just granulation.

Well, TitleStyle does this itself without colorsets, so it is impossible
currently to compare these 2 methods in titles.
Of course keeping only 45 degrees like in non-colorset gradients is bad.
Here is another formula for stretching DGradient that I had in mind
when wrote the original message, it is none of the existing two:
get_color_index(x, y, size_x, size_y, colors_num)
{
(x / size_x + y / size_y) * colors_num / 2
}
This should produce something like:
11111....333
111....3333:
1....3333:::
...3333::::5
.3333::::555
333::::55555
Compare with the existing ones:
1111....3333
1111....3333
....3333::::
....3333::::
3333::::5555
3333::::5555
and:
111....3333:
11....3333::
1....3333:::
....3333::::
...3333::::5
..3333::::55
