How to Tint Hero Image?

Hi Movin,

Thanks so much for your help so far. I have another question for you.

Is it possible to darken my hero image slightly? ie: to make it easier to read the White text? I’d like it to have an effect like a transparent wash on top of the image.

For an example, see the “Tinting” section of this link: Design Considerations: Text on Images | CSS-Tricks

I tried to find a way to add custom css like what’s shown on that page, but I can’t see how to do it without explicitly referencing the image. Do you have another way to do this?

Thanks,

Holly

You can try achieving this by adding the following CSS code in the Custom CSS option of your theme on the below path.

Admin Area -> Appearance -> Customize -> Shapely Options -> Other

.parallax-window {
    background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.1);
}
