Agree, it still looks stiff and far from the 7 GUI. Would you care to elaborate more on the breakpoints you talk about, or is there any good resource I could take to learn more? Thanks.

I assume that they are talking about easing gradients, which is interpolating the gradient’s color stops using a cubic bézier easing function [1]. It gets rid of the sharp edge you sometimes see in linear gradients. Think of CSS animations and their easing-functions.

There are various Sketch and Figma plugins which let you modify the easing function and generate the CSS for it.
