I am only slightly worried about the markup, it's definitely not very easy to read. Do you suggest things like masks to be created as external files in, say, inkscape and then referenced in the stylesheet? But let's get back to real life use cases. Where one would use RGBA gradients would be creating a tab that fades away to the background at the bottom (the background could have a texture like brushed metal or simply a gradient that goes horizontally for example). Suppose we would have corner rounding that clips the background image. We could use an SVG background image which defines the fill of the tab, but we keep having a problem with the stroke (border). Unless it's possible to do those with gradients, you can't use a border in this case. Having both fill and stroke in the background SVG doesn't seem to work either because depending on the tab size, the rounded corners would get stretched. How would this case be solvable without RGBA gradients? cheers -- Jakub Steiner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://jimmac.musichall.cz _______________________________________________ gnome-themes-list mailing list gnome-themes-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-themes-list
