mix-blend-mode

[Richard]

Thanks @fr ! :)

@fr said in mix-blend-mode:

color: white;

Hey @fr,

Thanks for your reply !

I would like to have the color of my text menu changed with the visuals behind, but it seems that "mix-blend-mode" doesn't work (and I saw this mode on another website).
Difference mode is an example it could be "multiply" "overlay" etc.
Not just the type in white.

Thank you for your help !

@clara_andrea do you mean this:

[clara_andrea]

@fr Yes exactly !

[felix_rabe]

@clara_andrea then you have to follow the steps laid out here :-) combine your mix blend mode code with the white font.

[clara_andrea]

@fr It works thank you so much !

But it's doesn't work with the sitetitle

.sitetitle  {
	mix-blend-mode: difference;
}

.second_menu  {
    mix-blend-mode: difference;
}

.third_menu  {
    mix-blend-mode: difference;
}

.fourth_menu  {
	mix-blend-mode: difference;
}

nav.sitetitle a {
color: white;
}

nav.second_menu a {
color: white;
}

nav.third_menu a {
color: white;
}

nav.fourth_menu a {
color: white;
}

[felix_rabe]

@clara_andrea that is because site title is not a part of "nav".

 .sitetitle-txt-inner {
 color: white;
 }

[clara_andrea]

It works ! Thank you so much !

And last thing, so sorry, do you know if it's possible to attribute this only on the main page ? Because the white text for the menu is problematic in the project pages , we can't see it appears except with the hover but not everyone can guess.

Thank you again

@clara_andrea i don't know what you mean, I think it works perfect now.
you can do css for specific pages with slugs, see here under custom css styling:

I try with safari and yes it works perfectly, but with chrome the menu text stay white and doesn't appears except above visuals or if I hover it.

[felix_rabe]

@clara_andrea ok for chrome you have to make your background white. with this:

.lay-content{ 
background: white;
}

[clara_andrea]

@felix_rabe Thank you it works perfectly :)

The last thing is, when I'm on a page from the menu (about, shop), the name of the menu in question disappears. I don't know if it's still in the subject/due to the change of colors but before it wasn't like that so maybe there is something to add ?

[felix_rabe]

@clara_andrea this is because your active menu point is black (so its invisible with the mix blend mode). You have to make it white in the customizer.

[clara_andrea]

@felix_rabe Thank you so much for your help ! Everything is working !

Hey @felix_rabe Can you help me with this too?🙏🙏 I'm trying to apply mix-blend-mode: difference; in the project-index but I can't get it. Any tips? https://alvarodoze.com/try-copy-2/

Cheers mate!!

[arminunruh]

i think it doesn't work if the div is not a direct parent of the background
i think it wont be possible with a projectindex

Hey @arminunruh is there a way of using "mix-blend-mode" but keeping the text either black or white instead of inverting the colors?

I've tried using all the different blend modes but they all have a reversed color output.

I've also tried using filter and grayscale but these don't work after the mix-blend-mode" function.

Would there be any java script that could dynamically change text to either black or white when scrolled over images?

[arminunruh]

no there is nothing like that

[arminunruh]

best way to do it is just this:
