A Color stop B Gradient swatch C Add gradient swatch D Linear repeating E Color models F Eye Dropper G Color slider H Lightness slider
I
Opacity slider J Add color swatch K Color swatch L Original color M Selected color N Angle for linear gradient
Note: The Eye Dropper tool is available in Dreamweaver 13.1 and later.
Let's understand the following code:
background-image: linear-gradient(57deg,rgba(255,255,255,1.00) 0%,rgba(21,8,8,1.00)
46.63%,rgba(255,0,0,1.00) 100%)
• 57deg: Indicates the angle of the linear gradient
• rgba(255, 255, 255, 1.00): Color for the first color stop
• 0%: Indicates color stop
Note: Only '%' values for color stops are supported in Dreamweaver. If you use other values such as, px or em, Dreamweaver
reads them as 'nil'. Also, Dreamweaver does not support CSS colors and if you specify these colors in the code, such colors
are read as 'nil'.
Rendering gradients in web browsers
When you use gradients as background, you can configure Dreamweaver to render the gradients appropriately on
different web browsers. Dreamweaver adds appropriate vendor prefixes to the code that enables web browsers to display
gradients suitably.
Dreamweaver can write the following vendor prefixes along with w3c format:
• Web kit
• Mozilla
• Opera
• Dreamweaver Live View (old Webkit format)
By default, Dreamweaver writes vendor prefixes for Webkit and Dreamweaver Live View. You can choose the other
required vendors from the Preferences dialog box (Preferences > CSS Styles).
Note: For Box shadow, Webkit and w3c prefixes are always generated irrespective of whether you have selected them in the
Preferences or not.
