multicolor text
Applying a (background) image to the foreground text
- State:
- CLOSED
- Product:
- CSS3 Backgrounds and Borders

- Description:
- Safari Webkit is experimenting with a 'background-clip: text', which clips a background image to the area of the text of an element (including its shadow and decoration). This is a way to create text that is painted with a pattern or a gradient. It requires that the color of the text is transparent or semi-transparent. See http://webkit.org/blog/164/background-clip-text/
There may be better ways to do this, e.g., as a value on the 'color' property. See Dave Hyatt's comments on his own proposal:
