1) Start with a NEW file [File->New] and set the background to transparency
2) Open the Text Editor
3) In the "Layers, Channels, Paths, Undo" right click on the text layer and select "Text to Selection"
4) Hide the Text layer by clicking on the eye and select the Gradient [aka Blend] Tool. Also select the 'Background' layer
5) Drag the gradient tool across the selected area [which should look like the text] creating the desired gradient.
6) Now click Select->None or use ctrl+shift+a to remove the selection. Now save or use as you'd like :D

- Instead of a layer with a gradient, you can put an image, pattern, or anything you can think up creating a different look more tailored to your needs. :D
