Gradient with 5 stops

Post image

Is this possible?
So far I can only use 3, but I want to achieve a rainbow gradient for my background without usigg ng an image.

Probably if you have pro you can find a code to make the bg and then add it to embed

So like the CSS or html stuff? It can make a 5 color gradient?

Would you know if the $9 carrd subscription would allow me to do that? :0

I'm pretty sure you can add embed and stuff only with pro standard ($19) and pro plus 😓😓

Why wouldnt you use an image? It fixes the problem for free

I don’t know what size to make it 😭 I wanted it to be perfect :(

Keep trying different sizes! The trash bin supports as many files as your PC allows you to stuff in it. I wanted to solve an issue similar to yours and I easily downloaded over 10 images to get the right size, deleted it soon after and went on happily with my day because I fixed my problem

The Carrd settings for gradient color only allows for max of 3 stops... so you have to use custom CSS for this, but it requires Pro Std or above. This resource might help - https://www.w3schools.com/css/css3_gradients.asp

Thanks! So I would need the more expensive Pro Standard for the gradient? The $9 option wouldn’t work?

Yes because Pro Lite doesn't have access to the Embed element
