Blend modes

[timhettler]

I've implemented a "blend" function that reproduces the 3 most commonly-used blend-modes (multiply, screen, overlay). Especially helpful when translating designs with a gradient overlay from Photoshop to CSS. My demo page illustrates this use case:

Please contact me if you have any questions, or suggestions on how to make this function better. Thanks!

Thanks for the positive feedback. I wrote out detailed documentation in the README file of the branch:

https://github.com/timhettler/less.js/tree/blend-modes

...And you can look around in the source files of the demo to see how it's implemented. As I mention in the README file, more blend modes could easily be added if there's interest.

This is awesome, can wait to get this merged in. We badly need blend modes and extend in LESS. please merge this @cloudhead

Isn't this a duplicate of #596? There are quite a lot of cool things sitting in pull requests, twiddling their thumbs...

Hi, I'm going to close this soon if someone doesn't object.

It appears to us like #596 offers everything here in a nicer format (and was submitted first)..

speak now or forever hold your peace!
