Supercharge Elementor with native advanced gradient containers, animated gradient text, glassmorphism effects, and smooth button hover gradients.

== Description ==

**Shogun Styling Addons For Elementor** is a lightweight, performance-focused plugin that seamlessly integrates directly into your Elementor Editor's native Style tabs. No clunky new widgets—just powerful new styling options injected exactly where you need them.

Built with clean CSS variables and strict Object-Oriented PHP, this addon ensures zero performance bloat while unlocking modern web design trends.

### Included Features

* **Advanced Gradient Containers**: Break the 2-color limit! Adds an advanced gradient generator directly to the Container Background tab, supporting up to 5 colors with custom stops and angles.
* **Glassmorphism Effects**: Instantly create modern frosted-glass effects. Adds a new "Glassmorphism" section to the Container Style tab with controls for Blur, Saturation, Glass Tint, and Edge Highlighting. Includes live-preview integration so you see changes instantly in the editor.
* **Animated Gradient Text**: Make your headings pop. Injects an "Animated Gradient Text" toggle into the native Elementor Heading widget, allowing up to 4 colors with custom animation duration controls.
* **Button Hover Gradients**: Create beautiful CSS fade transitions between two completely different gradients on hover. Added natively to the Elementor Button widget's Style tab.

### Why Choose Shogun Styling Addons?
* **Native Integration**: Doesn't add unnecessary custom widgets. It enhances the core Elementor widgets you already use.
* **Performance First**: No heavy JavaScript libraries. Everything is powered by modern CSS, CSS variables, and `@keyframes`.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Do I need Elementor Pro for this to work? =
No! Shogun Styling Addons works perfectly with the free version of Elementor. 

= Will this slow down my website? =
Not at all. The plugin uses highly optimized CSS variables and modern CSS features (like `backdrop-filter` for glassmorphism) rather than relying on heavy JavaScript libraries. 

= Where do I find the new controls? =
* **Advanced Gradients:** Select a Container > Style Tab > Background.
* **Glassmorphism:** Select a Container > Style Tab > Scroll down to the Glassmorphism Effect section.
* **Animated Gradient Text:** Select a Heading widget > Style Tab > Title section.
* **Hover Gradient Buttons:** Select a Button widget > Style Tab > Scroll down to the Advanced Hover Gradient section.

= Does the glassmorphism effect work on all browsers? =
The plugin uses standard `backdrop-filter` and `-webkit-backdrop-filter` properties, which are fully supported in all modern web browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge).

== Screenshots ==
