I think it has something to do with how I'm assigning the transparency color. Maybe I need to do a bit more research ... but if you could paste the code that would help! Thanks.

The client wanted the titles to only be displayed for a few seconds so that the user could concentrate on the beautiful products. Hi Karen – yes that’s the intended behaviour.
