The plugins site is currently in development.
We've been looking to provide a higher-quality, spam-free experience at the plugins site for some time, and a major error on our part forced us to shut down the current site before we could put the new one in place. We are developing a new site, and you can follow along with its development on GitHub. For more information about this transition, including steps you can take as a plugin author to prepare, please read our post about what's going on.
Element gradient
This plugin requires the Dimensions plugin and jQuery version 1.1.3+.
It allows you to define a gradient fill and have an element filled with a linear gradient. You can set the direction of the gradient (right-left or up-down) and the opacity of the gradient easily.
There is a colorGradient plugin which seems similar but takes a collection of elements and applies a gradient to each element, whereas this plugin applies a gradient fill to all matched elements. If you look at our example pages, you can see the differences.
Probably it would be a good idea to merge these two plugins eventually.
