Transparent Background for Controls


The video, or poster image, appears too dark on our site. this is prior to the video being played.

How can we adjust the dark layer that is put on top of the poster image? I believe it is the background for controls, but I adjusted all the colors for controls to full transparency and it did not seem to make a difference.

We are using a V8 player.

Thanks!

Hi,

Here’s a code example:
http://qa.jwplayer.com.s3.amazonaws.com/~george/jw8_overlay_alpha.html

Here’s the CSS:
<style>
.jw-state-idle .jw-controls {
background: rgba(0,0,0,0.0) !important;
}
.jw-controls-backdrop {
background: rgba(0,0,0,0.0) !important;
}

</style>

Thank you. It is difficult for us to modify the css - I don't suppose there is another way? We are using a div and a script.

The controls in V8 appear to let you control other colors, just not this one. If there is no other option, we will modify the css.

Thanks again.
