Adobe muse & text transparency

[DelilahSue]

I was wondering if there was a way to change my text transparency in Adobe muse without using Adobe illustrator? I have found where the transparency option is in fill, but whenever I click my textbox and try to change the transparency of my text, it doesn't work or if I highlight the text it doesn't give me the option to change it. Thanks for the wisdom!

What exactly do you want to achieve?

• If you use the „Opacity“ box next to the "Effects" command in Muse’s upper control strip, the text box and the text can be faded.
• If you use the „Opacity“ field in Muse’s „Fill“ panel (placed within the control strip or extra panel) only the box – not the text – will be dimmed.
• If you need transparent text without a background, place a textbox onto a coloured rectangle and dimm the text box.

If you can work with code, a little CSS is all you need.  In this example I'm using RGB color with alpha transparency.    Choose black or white.

CSS

.muted {

color: rgba (0,0,0,0.5) /**black, 50%**//

color: rgba (255,255,255,0.5) /**white, 50%*//

}

HTML

<div class="muted">

<h3>Heading 3</h3>

<p>Lorem ipsum dolor....</p>

</div>
