Changing the Opacity of the Featured Text Overlay

PostBy Forex-Nation on Thu Dec 09, 2010 6:51 am

I've explored this forum first before posting here, and although I found several instances where they claim to have found the answer, that's simply not been the case for me. As the title states I am trying to change the opacity of the text overlay so that it's less transparent and the featured text is not so hard to read. The images I use all have a white background to them and so white text is too hard to read when the opacity of the box is so transparent. My website is [url]forex-nation.com[/url].

I have literally explored every css and php script of the plugin trying to locate where the script is that will change the opacity, and I have been able to change the arrows opacity, but something seems to be overriding the changes I make that should (in my mind) have caused a change in the opacity of the text overlay box. Using fireBug (mozilla plugin) it appears that the code in question is
Code: Select all
element.style {
height:80px;
opacity:0.7;
visibility:visible;


But I am unable to locate this text at all. Maybe I'm wrong, but could someone please point me in the right direction. For now I've simply deleted the featured text and increased the font size of the header so that it's clearly visible, but having alternative text below the headline to describe more of what the content has to over viewers would be nice! Thanks in advance.

in scripts/jd.gallery.js.php file find property
Code: Select all
slideInfoZoneOpacity: 0.7,

this is for slide text opacity, if you increase it to 0.8,0.9 or 1 it will make less opacity on info zone

You know what, I looked at that once before and for whatever reason decided against changing that value there. Probably because I was frustrated by all the other instances of opacity values that I changed and got no results from. But in either case, PROBLEM SOLVED!

Thanks for the quick response. Good job!
