Hello @Temp265 ,

I hope you are doing well!

Can you please provide the store URL so that I can fix this for you? Also, I want to inform you that this can be done by adding opacity to the background image.

The URL is Proerex.co.nz thanks.

Please copy and paste the below CSS to base.css or theme.css. To find base.css or theme.css go to Online store >> Themes >> Edit code, search for base.css or theme.css and add the code to the top of the file.

Alternatively, if the code didn’t work, go to Online store >> Themes >> Customize >> Click on Settings icon to the left >> Search for Custom CSS tab at the bottom and paste the code.

.banner__media.media.scroll-trigger.animate–fade-in {

opacity: 0.3;

}

The layer will be slightly grey
