How to make slider text rectangle less transparent

Hello atvbballrob,
Just to see if it worked I attempted to darken it and I was able to do it.
I am using a child-theme to make changes as I am a newbie and I also use google chrome to inspect the element on my website so that my css box shows what I need to change. Open up the dashboard editor, then using the inspect element navigate to the css area for the “<div class=”carousel-caption”>” using the html box as a guide. You should see “.carousel-caption {
background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
}” impute this to the style.css area of your editor and change only the number, I changed it from .2 to .5 and it became dark enough for me.
Please Note: I generally have two windows open at a time, my dashboard and the other is my webpage, after making changes in the style. css (child-theme) then I go to the open webpage and refresh to see if it worked as I had planned. I generally have to experiment but it is coming together, slowly but surely (www.drawn2pencils.com) AND REMEMBER I’M A NOOB.

Hey,

Thanks for the response. How do I create a child theme? My .CSS file says anything there will not transfer over if I update the theme. Doesn’t that mean anything I put in there won’t be permanent.

But if you are only making CSS changes, you can put those changes under Custom CSS – isn’t that an option in the theme?

Hi,

I love this theme!!!
I′m trying to change the transparancey, but there is something I am doing wrong cause I haven′t been able to do it.
I do not have a child theme, could it be that?

I′m looking for the code to change in on class-header-slider.php, am I looking on the right css editor?

Thanks!!!!

No, you need to click on Customiz’it! and go into the Custom CSS panel. Enter the following:

.carousel-caption {
background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
}

Change the 0.2 to be anything from 0 (totally transparent) to 1 (black). Then click save & publish.

Thanks ElectricFeet!! It worked.
