    @oscarkindberg did you place the paper.gif file in the css directory?

    Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

      @oscarkindberg You will not be able to float the layer of grey over top. The background services do not support layering. I had tried multi layers for background images and had to make a single background image myself in Gimp to make it work.

          @Wedee I realised that after several tries and errors. I work in photoshop on a daily basis and I think in layers so to speak.

            Yes I fully understand, but in html you can layer exactly like you are thinking, but the tools used by Magic Mirror do not support it yet. I spent several hours thinking I was formatting it wrong until I realized this.

              @Wedee Works for me, z-index and opacity does the layering just fine,

              @oscarkindberg
              But unless you want the fade to be animated it should be made directly in the image, easier for the raspberry to process.
