Technical Background

CSS gradients are background image types defined in the CSS Images Module, belonging to the image data type. They can be used with background, border-image, and list-style-image properties. Linear gradients transition colors along a specified direction; radial gradients radiate from a center point; conic gradients rotate around a center. Color stops define key colors and positions within the gradient. CSS gradients are resolution-independent and load faster than bitmap images, making them a core technology in modern web design. Repeating gradients can create stripe, checkerboard, and other pattern effects.
