Diagonal Gradients

Gradients can be set diagonally, from corner to corner. To do this, you need to combine top, bottom and left, right. For example, a gradient that goes from the bottom left to the top right corner:

background-image: linear-gradient(to right top, yellow, green);

Here are some examples of diagonal gradients with the colors yellow, green:

to right top
to right bottom
to left bottom
to left top
