Is it possible to edit the opacity of text refresh theme

Topic summary

A user seeks to increase text opacity across their Shopify store using the Refresh theme, noting that body text appears at approximately 65% opacity compared to headers and needs to be at least 85%.

Initial Solutions Provided:

  • Multiple respondents (made4Uo, PageFly-Victor, GemPages) offered CSS code snippets to adjust opacity
  • First solution successfully increased product description opacity but left other site text unchanged

Complete Fix:
To change opacity site-wide:

  1. Navigate to Online Store > Themes > Edit code
  2. Open the base.css file in the Asset folder
  3. Locate the CSS rule for body, .color-background-1, .color-background-2, .color-inverse, .color-accent-1, .color-accent-2
  4. Remove “, 0.75” from the rgba color value

Result: This changes the text color from rgba(var(--color-foreground), 0.75) to rgb(var(--color-foreground)), eliminating the 75% opacity and making all text fully opaque.

Before/after screenshots were provided showing the visual difference.

Hi,

I am trying to increase the opacity of all of my text on my store. If you can just point me where to look, I can change the opacity myself.

Compared to the header, it just looks way too dim. Like it needs to be at least at 85% opacity, it looks like it is at 65%.

My store is https://basicallysuperhuman.com/products/train-like-a-superhero-ebook

Thank you!

Hi @BasicallySuper ,

Definitely able to do that. Actually, it was 75% opacity. Anyway, you can follow the instructions below

  1. From your Admin page, go to Online store > Themes > click the three dots > Edit code
  2. Find the Asset folder, and open the base.css file
  3. Add the code below at the very end of the file
product-info.product__info-container {
    color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.85);
}

Hey @made4Uo ,

It worked on the product description. But for the rest of the text on the site, it stayed the same.

Oh. If you want to change it to all, please follow the instruction below

  1. From your Admin page, go to Online store > Themes > click the three dots > Edit code
  2. Find the Asset folder, and open the base.css file
  3. Look for the code below and remove the “, 0.75”
body,
.color-background-1,
.color-background-2,
.color-inverse,
.color-accent-1,
.color-accent-2 {
  color: rgba(var(--color-foreground), 0.75);
  background-color: rgb(var(--color-background));
}
