No-Jank CSS Stripes

Creating CSS stripes often involves repeating-linear-gradient or hard-stop gradients. A single stripe is achieved using the same color across two color stops, while multiple stripes use different colors between stops (sharing a middle color). For example:

background: repeating-linear-gradient(
  45deg,
  black,
  black 10px,
  #444 10px,
  #444 11px
);

This generates angled dark gray stripes 10px apart on a black background. However, rendering inconsistencies may appear, with some stripes looking lighter or thinner than others. This is likely due to sub-pixel rendering. The issue is less noticeable with thicker stripes (5px or more).

Using linear-gradient with background-size and letting it repeat provides a smoother solution. The challenge lies in calculating the optimal background-size, especially for angled stripes. While the Pythagorean theorem might seem relevant, the calculation becomes complex.

A helpful solution is a dedicated generator tool (link omitted as it's not provided in the original text). This tool handles the complex math required to determine the correct background-size, resulting in perfectly rendered stripes. The underlying JavaScript (link omitted) shows the intricate calculations involved.

While repeating-linear-gradient offers a more intuitive approach, its visual inconsistencies necessitate using linear-gradient with a carefully calculated background-size for optimal results.
