Text Formatting ⇒ Gradient Headrule

[kronozord]

I´ve customized my header with a headrule with 1.4pt, now i want to change its color to a gradient, like, changing from black to white, from the left to the right of the page.

My question is:

Is it possible? And if it is, how do i do it ?

Redefine the line and use common graphics packages like pgf/tikZ or PSTricks.
