Hi there,

I recommend editing the image you want to use and making it darker or less intense. In PhotoShop, for example, you can just add a black layer on top of the image and give it 50% opacity.

If you want a code-based solution, please submit a customization request: http://themolitor.com/custom

Thanks!

It is difficult to display text when using vibrant images as backgrounds. A solution would be to render a text image with a black background, background set at 30%-40% transparency or similar, so that the page background shows through. Problem is, I need text for SEO. Is there a way to achieve same without using a rendered image? Maybe a way to add color/transparency to the text container/or a box around text such that what's below can show through? Any pointers appreciated. Thank you as always.
