Lay Theme Forum

Dear @mariusjopen

It’s been a time, but I want to get back because I am facing this issue again.
I think you misunderstood me here. I wanted to request a feature with the post. :)

In the admin panel under the menu item "Lay Options" → "Cover Options" is the setting "Darken Cover when scrolling down".

This option darkens the cover region from 1 to 0 via the CSS filter brightness in realtion to the scrolling depth.

My suggestion was to add another option to the "Darken Cover when scrolling down" option alternatively or in addition. For example "Change opacity instead of darken the cover region".
The only difference is that now instead of "filter: brightness(var)" "opacity: var" is changed inline.

This would extend the possibilities you get with the cover option:
For example, instead of darkening everything, you could hide the background image of the cover by the opacity loss. Or a color could become visible. etc.

I don't know if you are open to suggestions for improvement... If so, I hope this is something other users are also looking for.

Thank you! Best

(can't edit the initial post)

Or even better: Another option to change the opacity. So it turns to the body background-color.

This is pretty nice when the rows have a transparent background.

Hi Lay Community!

As I am working on a design which is using high key images as main visuals the entire appearance is very light and clear.

Therefore I would like to change the "Darken Cover when scrolling down" option to a "Lighten Cover when scrolling down".

@mariusjopen @arminunruh I therefore would like to make a suggestion to rather changing the option to "Change Brightness when scrolling down" with a brightness (%) control compared to the one from the project thumbnail hover customizer section.

What do you think about it?
And: Is there a workaround which is quickly applied?

Thanks,

C

Hey @mariusjopen

thanks for the input. I duplicated the page and deleted the duplicate. The faulty page could restored to have a further look.

Adding an empty row and saving the original afterwards solved the problem for that page.

Thanks.

@mariusjopen

Thanks for the response. Thats exactly the current setting. I did send you an email with the necessary information. Thank you!

Hi again.

Unfortunately the bug appeared again.

This time another page is affected, which wasn't before. Please have a look at:
http://2017.mono-space.com/jobs

I will leave the page untouched so you might figure out whats wrong.

Best,

Christoph

Hi!

Unfortunately the desktop version of our website is not running. There is a strange error in the console.

Have a look: 2017.mono-space.com

It appeared after saving the permalinks settings page - pretty links are applied.

One more thing which might help identifying the error:
Before the whole website broke, the projects category archive page had ‘category’ inside of the url right before the actual category slug.

Besides that some pages are running regularly. Also single projects are displayed correctly.

Thanks for your help. Much appreciated.

Edit: I was able to restore the functionality by saving the affected pages after a simple change like adding an empty row.

But still the having 'category' in the slug, which wasn't there before.

I am just questioning why the categories aren't hierarchical, as the category taxonomy usually is by default.

Did the setting cause any trouble? I would like to activate it in a child-theme, so I can output categories automatically with a shortcode as a list inside a project.

I would like to create a child theme and comment the include of "/assets/plugins/radio-buttons-for-taxonomies/radio-buttons-for-taxonomies.php"
in the functions.php

Seems to work, though ... Anyone tried that before?

Thanks!
