Hi Nabeel,

Just very close, you can use either 0deg or to top without adding "bottom"

See below:

.main-header {
  background-image: linear-gradient(to top, steelblue, darkslateblue 90%);
}

.main-header {
  background-image: linear-gradient(0deg, steelblue, darkslateblue 90%);
}

Hi Salman,

I did try "to top" previously but failed, however I just tried again and did the spacing the way you did and it worked!

Thank you
