I am trying to understand the proper way to setup a 
paper-scroll-header-panel that transitions from a 'tall' size where the 
background is a combination of a CSS gradient with a mostly transparent 
bg-image over top of it to a condense version that is just a solid color.

The demo 
here 
https://elements.polymer-project.org/elements/paper-scroll-header-panel?view=demo:demo/index.html&active=paper-scroll-header-panel
 
is mostly what I am after (I want the condensed header to stay at the top) 
but its structure seems a lot different than I read elsewhere and have most 
working right now.

My current setup is uses this CSS class:

paper-scroll-header-panel {
>     --paper-scroll-header-panel-full-header: {
>          background: -webkit-radial-gradient(#ffb837, #f13c0d); /* Safari 
> 5.1 to 6.0 */
>          background: -o-radial-gradient(#ffb837, #f13c0d); /* For Opera 
> 11.6 to 12.0 */
>          background: -moz-radial-gradient(#ffb837, #f13c0d); /* For 
> Firefox 3.6 to 15 */
>          background: radial-gradient(#ffb837, #f13c0d); /* Standard syntax 
> */
>      };
>     --paper-scroll-header-panel-condensed-header: {
>          background-color: #f13c0d;
>      };
>  }


 combined with very simple html structure:

<paper-scroll-header-panel condenses keep-condensed-header>
> <paper-toolbar class="tall layout horizontal">
> <div class="bottom horizontal layout">
>             <div class="paper-font-subhead">Title</div>
>  </div>
>  </paper-toolbar>
>  <!-- content stuff -->
> </ paper-scroll-header-panel>


This works for the basic transition from tall header with gradient 
background to condensed header with solid background. However, I need to 
add a background image over the top of the gradient and since I cant 
combine the gradient and background image in the same CSS style (or at 
least my attempts have failed) I am trying to find a workaround....which 
led me to the demo I linked to above..

The demo doesn't use CSS classes I am using now and seems to use a verbose 
method with a bunch of extra divs...the general idea is this:

<paper-scroll-header-panel>
> <div class="headerContainer>
> <div class="bg-container paper-scroll-header-panel>
> <div id="condensedHeaderBg" class="paper-scroll-header-panel"></div>
> <div id="headerBg" class="paper-scroll-header-panel"></div>
> </div>
> </div>
> <!-- paper-toolbar stuff -->
> </paper-scroll-header-panel>


I believe the IDs that are used have built in functionality with polymer to 
fade between when resizing. I think this method with the extra divs may 
allow me to add in an image over the top of the gradient in an easier 
fashion and have the polymer transition effects added to it 
automatically...however I cannot for the life of me figure out the proper 
structure to make this work.

What is the correct way to work with this dang paper-scroll-header-panel 
and style the header and still get all the transition effects without 
having to write separate event handlers to resize and fade extra things 
like image or really anything else you could throw into a panel header? For 
what its worth I have found it very hard to google search for specific 
parts of "polymer"/"paper elements"/"material design" help as I either get 
back results from the polymer website (which I honestly havent found super 
helpful) or random things about those actual real world materials...seems 
the name of this framework and its elements make it very hard to search for 
relevant info.
