I am developing web - mobile apps and basing the navigation around jQuery mobile lists, e.g. this demo.

I use this tool to obtain and change the gradient colour for each project. I mainly use a base colour and go from top(light) to bottom (darker) and this resembles the 'standard' way the default themes use in the jQuery widget.

I now need to follow through and use this as a backdrop for containers but if I use the same gradient in a container it looks different because of the colour spread:



Are there any rules regarding this? Should I go top (dark) middle (light) bottom (dark) on the larger areas.

Any links on this dark magic appreciatted.

If you want your gradients to look consistent, your best option is probably to give it a fixed height and then extend the bottom color as necessary:



This means you won't have a gradient down to the bottom, obviously, but all the screens will look similar.
