Slider colour overlay not working

Was just going to post this…mine isn’t working either.

I see the issue and I am very sorry for the inconvenience. We’re working on fixing this and will be releasing an update over the weekend.

Where can I get the fix from? Will the fix only be available to pro version?

The fix will be included to Kale as well. As soon as you see that there is an update available – go ahead and update the theme. This is an issue with both the free and pro versions and an update for both will be pushed in the next 24-48 hours.

@elliemorgan @soufsun An update with the fix for this has been released today. Sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused you.

Thanks for the update. Can I ask is there anyway of adjusting the opacity of the overlay? I would like a higher opacity to make the writing stand out more if at all possible? At the moment it looks more like a photo filter, which is not the desired affect I was expecting.

Hi @elliemorgan, I’m @ricotheque from LyraThemes.

To change the overlay’s appearance, add this to your Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS:

.frontpage-banner:before, .frontpage-slider .owl-carousel-item:before {
	opacity: X
}

Just replace X with a number between 0 (completely transparent) to 1 (complete opaque). You can use decimals like 0.1 or 0.5.

You can also make the text “pop” by adding a shadow to it. Here’s an example you can use in your Additional CSS:

.frontpage-slider .caption h2 {
	text-shadow: 1px 1px #000;
}

Hope this helps!
