New Gradient Types

Mojave also brings two new gradient layer types, radial and conic, to CAGradientLayer. Using the new type is as simple as switching your Gradient Layer to use the new types. Radial and conic gradients support all of the animatable properties as the existing linear gradient type.

New Rendering Options

To keep in sync with the Core Animation API, Kite now supports two new-to-macOS 10.14 rendering properties on layers. You can find these new options in the rendering inspector.
