CSS Syntax

background: repeating-linear-gradient(angle | to side-or-corner, color-stop1, color-stop2, ...);
Value Description
angle Defines an angle of direction for the gradient. From 0deg to 360deg. Default is 180deg.
side-or-corner Defines the position of the starting-point of the gradient line. It consists of two keywords: the first one indicates the horizontal side, left or right, and the second one the vertical side, top or bottom. The order is not relevant and each of the keyword is optional.
color-stop1, color-stop2,... Color stops are the colors you want to render smooth transitions among. This value consists of a color value, followed by an optional stop position (a percentage between 0% and 100% or a length along the gradient axis).
