Gradient Designer 🎨

Gradient Designer is a powerful visual tool for VS Code that brings a professional gradient studio directly into your editor. Designed with a stunning Modern Pro aesthetic, it allows you to create, tweak, and export complex gradients and textures without leaving your code.

✨ Features

🎨 Visual Studio Interface

  • Pro Aesthetic: A deep dark theme (#000) with Electric Blue (#A8C7FA) accents and "Pill" shaped controls.
  • Single-Page Design: All tools (Dimensions, Gradient, Effects, Export) are visible in one clean sidebar.
  • Visual Controls:
    • Linear/Radial: Animated capsule switches.
    • Stops: Add unlimited color stops with a click.
    • Sliders: High-contrast sliders for precise adjustments.

🛠️ Texture & Effects

  • Noise Engine: Add grain/texture to your gradients to prevent color banding and add a premium feel.
  • Blend Modes: Choose how the noise blends (Overlay, Multiply, Screen).
  • Shadows (Coming Soon): Future updates will include Drop & Inner shadow controls.

🚀 Professional Export Ecosystem

Stop using online generators. Export directly to your codebase:

  1. CSS Class (.ark-designer):

    • Generates a production-ready CSS class.
    • Zero-Asset Noise: The grain texture is embedded as a pure CSS ::before element using an SVG Data URI. No external image files needed!
    • Copy & Paste: Replicates your design 1:1.
  2. Framework Ready:

    • Tailwind CSS: Utility classes (e.g., bg-[linear-gradient...]).
    • React / JSX: Inline style objects.
  3. Image Export:

    • WEBP: Ultra-lightweight modern format.
    • SVG: Infinite resolution vector export.
    • PNG / JPG: Standard raster formats.
