Notice how the slider background changes according to the edge of the slider image. This can be se开发者_如何学编程en easily on higher resolutions.

My objective would be to:

Add a fixed resolution image to the slider and then the background of that image would be "calculated" automatically with JS and create a smooth gradient.

Thanks in advance!
