Rapid PHP: CSS Gradient Assistent

[davey]

First of all, the new CSS Gradient Assistent is great, but i would love to see some small adjustment in the next version.

The CSS Gradient Assistent doesn't create a 'default' background property for non-supported browsers. It would be great if the gradient generator adds automatically a default background property with, for example, the first color you selected.

Code: Select all

  background: #A40E1B; /* This line isn't created by the gradient assistent */ 
  background-image: -webkit-gradient(linear, top, bottom, color-stop(0, #A40E1B), color-stop(1, #830B15));
  background-image: -ms-linear-gradient(top, #A40E1B, #830B15);
  background-image: -o-linear-gradient(top, #A40E1B, #830B15);
  background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #A40E1B, #830B15);
  background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #A40E1B, #830B15);
  background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom, #A40E1B, #830B15);

And perhaps the possibility to add multiple stops to the gradient.

I'll add this to the list, but we'll need to consider whether there are cases when adding a default background color could cause problems or not.

it also would be nice to have an option(maybe checkbox in gradient assistant?) to add IE filter code

Code: Select all

-ms-filter:"progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Gradient(enabled=true,StartColorStr='#000',EndColorStr='#fff',GradientType=0)";

The IE filter causes lots of problems - it's visibly slow on lots of pages, it's stepping out of element's bounds even when overflow is hidden, it's a completely different technology than css filters, it only works for elements that "have layout" which is another IE-specific thing etc. This is why we decided to exclude it. Hopefully thanks to MS dropping XP support soon, we'll have no need for them anymore.
