Opacity

The opacity property can be used to make a widget partially or fully transparent.

Syntax

opacity: <FRACTIONAL>;

Values

As a fractional property, opacity can be set to either a float (between 0 and 1), or a percentage, e.g. 45%. Float values will be clamped between 0 and 1. Percentage values will be clamped between 0% and 100%.

Example

This example shows, from top to bottom, increasing opacity values.
