I agree with many aspects of your proposal. I have done many test with using background-size and background-position with radial-gradient. I also agree with some of the comments that Brian has added (ei. repeating halves of radial-gradient). Others concerns I have is that the way the spec stands now, using both linear-gradient and radial-gradient together are not easy. http://css-class.com/test/css/3/gradients/linear-radial-gradients-combined.htm When magic corners work, this technique will only work with boxes of the same height and width. I have many offline test with gradients but many need to be deleted. I will drop my desire for premultiplied gradients (yes i said it) so I can contribute to something good. -- Alan Gresley http://css-3d.org/ http://css-class.com/
