    Does anyone know how to properly do the bottom variant in Inkscape? I only know how to do the top one and I don’t like that

      You split the object into various smaller pieces, each with a gradient fill between two colours - you end one section with the same colour as you start the next. None of the objects have outlines. The objects can be layered in any order, except the “top of the crossover” has to go on top of everything else.

      You can then group all those sections to move them around as one object. Don’t “union” them into one object, or you’ll end up with it going like the top one.

      There’s probably another 5 different ways of getting the same results - can I set a gradient along a custom path? I’ve never tried :)
