Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the gradient border work?

We use the background-clip CSS technique. The element gets a transparent solid border. Then, two backgrounds are applied: an inner solid background clipped to the padding-box, and a gradient background clipped to the border-box.

2. Does it support border radius?

Yes! The background-clip technique perfectly supports border-radius, which is a major advantage over using the border-image property.

3. How do I use the generated CSS in my project?

Simply copy the generated code and paste it into your CSS class. Make sure your element has sufficient padding if it contains content, so the content doesn't touch the border.

4. Can I make the inner background transparent?

The background-clip technique requires a solid inner background to 'hide' the inner part of the gradient. If you need a completely transparent background inside the border, you must use the border-image property instead, which unfortunately does not support border-radius well.
