How can I reduce the color transition distance in my radial gradient?-CodePudding

I'm trying to get a white circle that should be razor sharp on the inner edge. I think I have managed at least that. I want the black inner surface to contain the content (preferably almost seamlessly and responsive - if possible). And imagine my template had 10-20 more checkboxes.

But now, the white circle on the outer edge should also look quite sharp (not 100% but much sharper than in my example). So a minimal transition should remain visible on the outer edge (but not on the inner edge). I'll have to experiment with the thickness of the white circle when I get the CSS right, but I don't want the white circle to be too thick.

But I can't manage that somehow...

Which CSS values do I have to specify so that the white circle is sharper on its outer edge and that the black inner surface encloses the content?

Thanks for any effort in advance. :)

Your gradient rules were a bit odd as you went down to 10% from 55%. Really they should be progressively larger. I adjusted to transition from white to black over 2%. Keep fiddling with the values to get it just right.

Have a look at the MDN docs to understand better.

To get some kind of anti-aliassing between bands in a gradient circle, you can use double units/percentages with the slightest of variations in values.

As circles don't have straight lines you will get jagged edges when repeating end values as start values on a next colors. Therefore you need to 'fool' the browser graphics routines a bit and force some rounding differences by slight differences in the from/to distance values of no more that 0.5% or 1px, or whatever unit you use.

Like:

   color 1: 10%
   color 2: 10.5% 20%
   color 3: 20.5% 30%
   etc...

I copied your snippet and used green for white and red for black to show the anti-aliassing at work:

                                     black 54%,
                                     white 54.5% 55%,
                                     green 55.5% 65%,
                                     black 65.5%,
                                     red );
