Semi-transparent overlay on uploaded images (background)

makedigitalgroup

Is there a way to "dim" a background image that is uploaded by the user in the CMS? I feel like some of the elements in the pre-built sites are misleading in that way, as the JPEGs themselves are dark in nature, and thus look like they have a shade over them, allowing for easy legibility of the text over the top of them.

I've tried various CSS and JS workarounds, but the problem is that the element where the background image is set (the same one I can add custom CSS classes to) isn't actually the element the background-image is added to on the front-end. So my JS breaks.

Other themes have options in the visual builder where you can set an overlay color and strength (opacity) that lays over the top of the image (but behind foreground text. Is this doable with Muffin?

Thanks.

Hey,

sorry but overlays like those you describe are not possible in the theme.

We are using images that are prepared and work with the font colors.

The only sollution here is to use software to dim them.

thanks

That is incredibly disappointing and quite an oversight. I feel like using images that have the overlay/color quality baked into them is misleading to potential buyers of this theme.
