Idea: Open-ended gradient

Before and After.

The new version (1.3.0) of Blockman now supports gradient for both: borders and backgrounds. You can choose Super gradient color combo preset, or manually set custom gradients.

Super good work!

I like it too. Hope that the author will implement it soon 😄

That's kinda interesting. The problem is that css border cannot have gradient, it can be only solid color, so I removed the borders in the image above.

Maybe I will remake the borders as back-layer divs, so they will be able to support gradients. I guess it will be kinda tradeoff for optimization, because each block rendering is very CPU intensive, the blocks are not just blocks, they are rendered line by line, each line has its div, these divs touch each other so it gives us illusion that its a one whole block. So, remaking borders as additional divs would add more work for CPU.

Redesigned the borders as divs. Looks quite interesting. maybe I'll implement somehow soon.
