Add fade to transparent background on module.

jamaces

I followed this thread to add transparent backgrounds to my custom.css

Is it possible to set a fade to the background similar to how the default calendar and weather have a fade?

Thanks.

.module.calendar {
     background-colour:rgba(0,0,0,0.1);
     border-radius:10px;
     padding:4px;
}

Take a look at https://www.w3schools.com/css/css3_gradients.asp - you might be able to get something working through that… RGBA values seem to work there.

The text gradients they do is different. :)

@jamaces easy peasy…here’s an example:

.MMM-YahooWeather .fade {      
  	-webkit-mask-image: linear-gradient(to bottom, black 10%, transparent 100%);
    mask-image: linear-gradient(to bottom, black 10%, transparent 100%);
   height:  120px;
  }

The magic is in the fade… gives you this effect: [see bottom of 4 days forecast]

@bkeyport Thank you! I realized after I made the post it is called gradient.

For future knowledge

change background-color to background-image and add linear-gradient with another RGBA value.

Thank you for your help.

Is there a way to have CSS go gradient to the left and to the right?

I have the news module at the bottom and I really just want it to be dark in the centre where the headlines are.

I have tried to right and to left, I have tried radial and nothing seems to work.
