    Hey

    I want to add a background overlay (for example black with 35% opacity) on the blog post header image, in order to make the text more easily readable.

    Blog header type being used is "Fullscreen with meta under".

    I can just make the image darker but that would also make the thumbnails darker. So I was wondering if a CSS could fix the issue...?

    Hey Again,

    Add this into the Custom CSS box in your Salient Theme Options panel (We write all Custom CSS in the Live Browser to ensure accuracy. If you cannot see any changes, make sure there is no red cross in the Custom CSS Box as any syntax error would cause all CSS under that line of code to not show up on the Frontend):

    .single-post .page-header-bg-image:before {
    background: rgb(0 0 0 / 35%);
    content: '';
    position: absolute;
    display: block;
    top: 0px;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
}

    Thanks

    FYI, I tried this by adding the alpha value to a hex color, but it didn't work. I had to convert to RGB.

    Hi, Judith.

    I wasn't looking for a fix. Just sharing my experience in context in case anyone else had the same hair-brained idea I had to modify Tahir's code.

    Thanks,

    Benjamin

    I can see that you an actually add this within the post itself but it doesn't allow you to select a colour. 


    Can you tell me how where to change the current colour fro the standard black to another colour

    There appears to be a dark overlay on my woo commerce shop header... But I can't see how to remove it. Can you help. I don't need it. Its just making my images dull.

        background-color: rgb(139 139 139 / 0%);
    }

    Thanks.
