Changing opacity of image caption

Go to solution Solved by tuanphan,

Recommended Posts

Hi, does anyone know if it is possible to change the opacity of the image caption? I have added a CSS code that enables the caption to always show on mobile (to avoid the confusing dot that one must click in order to display the caption), but I am finding the caption overlay to be exceptionally dark. I am wondering if there is a way to reduce the opacity of this so that the image underneath the caption shows up better? Thanks for any help!

Thanks for sharing that, sorry, but I can't see any hover effect on that page in order to help you.

You have to click on an image, and then when hovering a mouse over the image it displays the caption information. That dark caption overlay is what I am trying to lighten up. It's too opaque on mobile, obscuring a portion of the image. I've added a screenshot of it here and marked it with a red arrow.

You can use this new code to enable caption on mobile

@media screen and (max-width:640px) {
.yui3-lightbox2 .sqs-lightbox-meta {
    opacity: 1 !important;
    bottom: 0 !important;
    left: 0 !important;
    right: 0 !important;
}
}

To change opacity on desktop, use this code

.yui3-lightbox2 .sqs-lightbox-meta.overlay-description-visible {
    background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.2) !important;
}

0.2 is opacity

Great, thank you! Is there any way to change the opacity on mobile also?

On mobile, you can use this

@media screen and (max-width:640px) {
.yui3-lightbox2 .sqs-lightbox-meta.overlay-description-visible {
    background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.5) !important;
}
}
