Tailwind CSS: Make things partly see-through (transparent).

Adding Visual Flair & Decoration

Make things partly see-through (transparent).

Skill ID: VisualFlair_34

Description: Control how opaque or transparent an element is.

Where to apply: Overlays on images, disabled buttons, subtle background effects.

Key Tailwind Classes:


       opacity-50


       bg-black/50

(for background opacity)

Gotcha: opacity-* affects the entire element, including its text and any child elements. If you only want a semi-transparent background but fully opaque text on top, use background opacity utilities like bg-black/50 or bg-blue-500 bg-opacity-75 .
