HERE'S THE CODE:
BANNER SLIDESHOW PHOTO OVERLAY
If you chose not to have a card behind your text, the text probably isn’t very legible over the background images. Let’s add a photo overlay to the entire slideshow:
Tip! Adjust the background color as needed.
// banner slideshow overlay //
.slide-media-container:after {
content: "";
background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.15);
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
z-index: 9099;
}
.slide-content.list-item-card-background {
z-index: 99999999999999;
}
BANNER SLIDESHOW FONT SIZE ON MOBILE
Most of the time, the font ends up being WAY too big on mobile. Especially if you’re using both a title and a description. This CSS will help you change the font size ONLY for mobile.
Tip! Adjust the font size + replace the section ID. Here’s how to find it →
// banner slideshow mobile title //
@media screen and (max-width: 740px) {
SECTION-ID {
h2.list-item-content__title {
font-size: 20px !important; }}}
// banner slideshow mobile description //
@media screen and (max-width: 740px) {
SECTION-ID {
.list-item-content__description {
font-size: 12px !important; }}}
