How would I go about adding images as the background for categories? I’ve tried various ways using known tricks such as pseudo elements like `::after` and `::before` to control the transparency of the image without affecting the main content, which I’ve targeted via the `data-category-id` attribute, but this didn’t seem to work. Instead it was covering the full category table and/or creating an empty space at the beginning or end of the category’s row. I’m wanting to be able to control this via css so that I can replace images easily or change the opacity. Below is a screenshot of what I’m trying to achieve without the obvious issue of the text fading as well. > **Screenshot** > > ![Screenshot%20at%20Dec%2004%2020-11-32](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/a/d/adf480cf1742f2222b546238dae9ed800c9c667a.png) The main trick I tried using is discussed [here](https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/transparent-background-images/), but I am open to other options if there are any. ---

Anybody have any ideas on how to accomplish this? ---
