Publisher CSS3 gradients fashionable Photoshop

ColorZilla , known for its color extensions for Mozilla and Chrome, provides us with Ultimate CSS Gradient Generator . This is a generator of degraded CSS3 online basically follows the user interface of Photoshop to provide the CSS for all owners prefixes -moz- , -webkit- , -o- , -ms- . For Internet Explorer 6 to 8, the tool generates the property filter ; versions IE9 and beyond there is even the conditional comment to add to cancel filter and switch to the generation of the gradient using SVG base 64.

The preset gradients are a boon to the web integrator: in most cases, simply changing one of the 140 examples given.

The modifiable parameters are:

• Positioning the cursor to determine the length, opacity and color threshold considered,
• Color adjustment via dynamic cursors for hue, saturation and brightness,
• The orientation of the gradient: horizontal, vertical, diagonal (right- left ), diagonal ( left-right) and radial

A preview window lets you see the changes live-live with a check box to see how Internet Explorer behaves with the properties that it does not take into account.

CSS are ready to copy and paste with the equivalent option for SCSS (Sass) and the choice of color (HEX, RGB, RGBA, HSL, HSLA).

Examples SCSS (Sass)

// needs latest Compass, add '@import "compass"' to your scss
background-color: rgb(228,245,252); // Old browsers

@include filter-gradient(#e4f5fc, #2ab0ed, vertical); // IE6-8


// IE9 SVG, needs conditional override of 'filter' to 'none'
$experimental-support-for-svg: true;
@include background-image(linear-gradient(top, rgba(228,245,252,1) 0%,rgba(191,232,249,1) 50%,rgba(159,216,239,1) 51%,rgba(42,176,237,1) 100%));
