 * Hi guys!
 * Here I am again! 🙂
 * I am trying to add a DARK opacity to the homepage image in this web [http://www.empreratrices.es/](http://www.empreratrices.es/)
 * I must be doing something wrong because I just can’t make it. How do I do it?
 * Thanks in advance as always. You’re awesome

 * Hello Esther,
 * You can try to use the following CSS code.
 * You can add CSS code in **Dashboard** → **Appearance** → **Customize** → **Additional
   CSS**.
 *     ```
       #slideshow {
           background-color: black;
       }
   
       .slide-item {
           opacity: 0.5 !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * Kind Regards, Roman.

 * Actually,
    I just realised. Is there any way to make the opacity NOT TO affect
   the text? See this [http://www.constanzagonzalez.es/](http://www.constanzagonzalez.es/)
   to see what I mean. Thanks in advance! Esther

 * Hello Esther,
 * Well, I think that it might be easier to darken the image itself in this case
   🙂
