Components have an Opacity setting that allows you to control how transparent any component displays.
There could be custom settings on your DIGIDECK that may override the opacity feature. If you're having issues please reach out to support.
How to set a Component's Opacity:
For this example we'll set an image to be semi opaque to create a faded effect for the background of our slide. These steps can be followed for any component.
1. First we'll select our image
2. Second select the opacity button in the top tool bar
3. We'll set the image to 30% opacity to blend it into the background more
4. Save and Deselect to see how it now fits into the slide.
