 * Hi!
 * I have noticed that dyad adds a kind of a shadow to the image that used in a 
   featured post on the main page.
    Generally this is a nice feature but unfortunately
   it doesn’t look good with the pictures I would like to publish.
 * Could you please advise how could I reduce or deactivate this effect?
 * Thanks.
 * Kind regards,
 * Simon

 * Hi,
 * I think that I have found it. It is defined in the section “gradient at bottom
   of slideshow”.
 * Kind regards,

 * That’s the right section, yes!
 * You can alter that by adding something like this (to remove the gradient) to 
   your CSS:
 *     ```
       .site-banner .site-banner-media:before,
       .banner-custom-header .site-banner-media:before {
       	background: none;
       }
       ```
   
 * Just make sure you aren’t modifying the theme’s files directly, as that would
   get overwritten in a theme update. Instead, use the Additional CSS panel in the
   Customizer (assuming you’re running at least WordPress 4.7) or with something
   like the [Jetpack Plugin](http://jetpack.com) using the [Custom CSS Module](http://jetpack.com/support/custom-css).

 * Hi!
    I tried to paste this in the CSS editor but nothing happens when I save 
   it. Is there something else I should be doing? (I know nothing about CSS, development,
   etc). Thanks!!

 * Hi [@wellmamma](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wellmamma/)!
 * If your site is running the Dyad theme, then the above CSS should remove the 
   overlay.
 * Can you post a link to your site and I’ll take a look?
