At some point soon I'm going to need to Thebes-ify background rendering, and I thought I'd add support for background gradients at the same time. The underlying code is trivial, just coming up with a sane way of specifying it is hard.
I've written up some thoughts at http://wiki.mozilla.org/User:VladVukicevic/CSS_Background_Gradient . Some key abilities I'd like to preserve: * Gradients along any arbitrary line. * One or more color stops at specified positions along that line. Some questions: * Does the gradient replace the background color; that is, painted instead of the backgronud color? Or is it painted over the background color? * Is preserving some ability to still do gradients using images on non-Gecko browsers worthwhile? (This is what the last chunk of the proposal above tries to fix -- a way to tell gecko to ignore any background image.) * The proposed syntax for -moz-background-gradient really sucks, but I have a hard time coming up with anything better.
