Animating background in progress bar (HTML5) Shadow DOM


I'm trying to animate the progress bar (HTML5 <progess> tag). I managed to style the Shadow DOM elements, but I can't animate the background (repeating linear gradient). It works in Firefox, but not in Chrome and Edge.

<ins>By it does not work I mean, the striped background is shown, but it is not animated</ins>

It seems as if the @keyframe animation definition has a different scope outside of the shadow boundary.

<ins>
How can I break the scope of the Shadow DOM boundary?
Or is there a way that I can override the User Agents shadow DOM implementation?
</ins>

<ins>
I would be glad, if there is a No-JS solution

Solution

  • Inheritance can fix the issue. You apply the animation on the main element and you use a cascading inherit. Since it won't work with background-color I replaced the animation with a gradient one where I will also animation the position.

    I also optimized the code to avoid the empircal value

    progress[value] {
      display: block;
      width: 100%;
      min-height: 4rem;
      -webkit-appearance: none;
      -moz-appearance: none;
      appearance: none;
      border: none;
      border-radius: 10px;
      box-shadow: inset 4px 4px 4px rgba(84, 30, 8, 0.2);
      background-color:rgba(149, 250, 61, 0.1);
      border: 1px solid #ccc;
      animation: colorrush 5s infinite linear;
    }
    progress[value]::-webkit-progress-inner-element {
      border-radius: 10px;
      overflow: hidden;
      background-position:inherit;
    }
    progress[value]::-webkit-progress-bar {
      border-radius: 10px;
      background-color: transparent;
      background-position:inherit;
    }
    progress[value]::-webkit-progress-value {
      border-radius: 10px 0 0 10px / 10px 0 0 10px;
      box-shadow: inset 2px 2px 2px rgba(84, 30, 8, 0.2);
      background: 
        repeating-linear-gradient(45deg, transparent 0 6px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 6px 12px),
        linear-gradient(#95fa3c,#c4eea0,#95fa3c);  
      background-size:
         calc(12px/0.707) 100%, /* 0.707 = cos(45deg)*/
         100% 800%;
      background-position:inherit;
    }
    progress[value]::-moz-progress-bar {
      border-radius: 10px 0 0 10px / 10px 0 0 10px;
      box-shadow: inset 2px 2px 2px rgba(84, 30, 8, 0.2);
      background:
        repeating-linear-gradient(45deg, transparent 0 6px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 6px 12px),
        linear-gradient(#95fa3c,#c4eea0,#95fa3c);   
        background-size:
         calc(12px/0.707) 100%, /* 0.707 = cos(45deg)*/
         100% 800%;
      background-position:inherit;
    }
    
    
    @keyframes colorrush {
      0% {
        background-position:0 0;
      }
      100% {
        /* the 10 multiplier will allow me to use a big duration and be able
           to slow down the color animation
        */
        background-position: calc(10*(12px/0.707)) 100%;
      }
    }
    html {
