Pattern.css
pattern.css is a CSS background pattern library and texture generator. It provides a collection of pure CSS styles used to create decorative, repeating geometric and organic designs for website backgrounds and user interfaces.
The project focuses on generating visual effects using only CSS properties, removing the need for image files. This approach optimizes assets by replacing image-based textures with code to reduce page load times.
The library utilizes linear and radial gradient layering, background stacking, and relative-unit sizing to produce tiling shapes and textures. It also employs CSS custom properties to allow for dynamic color theming across documents.
