Don't use gradients where you'll be stretching things. Use textures you can tile instead.

But how would i scale along the Y-axis as that causes stretching?

You can gradient along any axis that is not stretched.

Wow, i should have tried before i posted.

Would creating a larger version of the gradient and scaling down help?

It won't help really. You'll suffer from the same problems of either losing colours or badly filtered blending.

Vector graphics doesn't have to be hard -- there are libraries like the excellent Cairo that take care of the messy rendering details for you. You could even keep your current sprite-based system as is, and just re-render the sprites textures at the new resolution whenever the GUI is rescaled.
