| [e4-dev] CSS Styling and Radial Gradients |
|
All, I was very impressed when I took a closer
look at WebKit's css gradient styling capabilities. WebKit supports both linear
and radial gradients. Just for fun, I prototyped e4 css styling using radial
gradients (The current implementation is a quick hack using Java 2D RadialGradientPaints
and convert an AWT image to an SWT image for the background rendering). Here is
screenshot of my contacts demo using radial gradients:
While my example is just a quick radial
gradient demo, something like this (Rendered with Chrome/WebKit) looks pretty
impressive to me:
WebKit can render this today and wouldn’t
it be a shame if e4 couldn’t do this J So, is there any interest in integrating
radial gradients in the e4 css styling story? If so, I would volunteer to work on
that. But I guess, a precondition for a fast implementation would be that an SWT
GC could also support radial gradients in the future… Best regards, Kai --- Kai Tödter Siemens AG Corporate Technology Architecture CT SE 2 Otto-Hahn-Ring 6 81739 Munich, Germany Phone: +49 89 636-41064 Fax: +49 89 636-45450 mailto: kai.toedter@xxxxxxxxxxx Internet: www.siemens.com/corporate-technology Siemens Aktiengesellschaft: Chairman of
