fn render_gradient_block() {
    let gradblock = tui_gradientblock::new(&frame.area(), SplitBorderSegments::NONE)
        .set_gradients(vec![
            (
                GradientSegments::Right,
                vec![(251, 8, 255), (10, 100, 112)],
                1.0,
            ),
            (
                GradientSegments::Top,
                vec![(10, 100, 112), (251, 8, 255)],
                1.0,
            ),
            (
                GradientSegments::Left,
                vec![(10, 100, 112), (10, 100, 112)],
                1.0,
            ),
            (
                GradientSegments::Bottom,
                vec![(10, 100, 112), (10, 100, 112)],
                1.0,
            ),
        ])
        .top_titles(vec![(
            "Top title".to_owned(),
            TitleAlignment::Centered,
            Some((vec![(14, 67, 240), (90, 34, 128)], 1.0)),
        )])
        .set_lines();

    frame.render_widget(gradblock, frame.area());
}

with multiple titles and border gradients

multiple pre-defined misc types

this crate was made by an intermediate frontend web developer and a beginner to rust who started learning about 4 months ago.

please give me recommendations on pre-defined border themes as your input would be very helpful.
