So here's something new and odd for me. I'm playing around with your new Aussie theme and it's great! However, I want to put a transparent PNG in the Featured module that uses Zen Tools. When I do it has a black background. I thought maybe it was showing this because I had the fade to black option for hover, but when I turned that off it, 1) still faded to black & 2) didn't fix it.

Are transparent PNG's not supported and if so what's the trick?

Hi There,

Am I looking at the coat of arms image?

Thanks

Yes

Hi

Have you tried using fade to white on hover?

Yes it continues to Fade to black. I've cleared cache and it still does it. I don't see another module (done that before) and when I make other changes it seems to apply those.

If you add this to the custom.css file does this help

#grid1wrap .zen-container .moduletable.aussie-featured .module-inner .zen-module-body ul > li .zt-image {background-color:#fff !important}

The template does have a background of black for this particular position

This might also be an option but would need cross browser testing

#grid1wrap .zen-container .moduletable.aussie-featured .module-inner .zen-module-body ul > li .zt-image{background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.0) !important;}

so the white background becomes transparent

With using a transparent background you would probably want to remove the fade option

That was my first thought. I figured it was the fade that was killing the transparency.

That last bit of code in the custom.css works great! Testing it in other browsers now.

Weird... It still makes it fade. Which is fine, but it shouldn't be.

Works in other browsers. Thanks. I'm curious as to why it would continue to fade but honestly I like it. I would consider adding the ability to quickly turn that on and off from within each module.

It did get a bit messy with png as there are different variants and at the time we looked at it different compressed versions

As there are problems with pngs generally together with the template having a hard coded back background makes it worse I think

"I would consider adding the ability to quickly turn that on and off from within each module."

The background being transparent?

The ability to turn on and off the background from where you put the images. So that if you wanted to use transparent images you could. I like it. Even on a phone screen it looks nice. Especially with that curved background.

There are background colour options in the module however with this template you would definitely need to add custom css for it to work

Cheers

Please it works
