I want to change the secondary color of my theme to #22222280 (80% opacity) so I can have kind of a glass effect on my Discourse forum. How can I do this when the theme doesnt allow you to enter more then 6 characters in the Color code field.
Is there any way to manually edit this? Or any other ideas I can achieve this effect with CSS perhaps? I tried 80% opacity CSS rule but that makes the text also 80% opacity. Thanks 
You could try overriding the secondary color with CSS:
:root {
--secondary: #22222280;
}
Hiya @Ibrahim 
welcome to Discourse Meta
You can perhaps have a look at the code for my header glass theme component for some css fun with transparency and blur effect.
Perfecto did just the trick
Already installed this, nifty component
It was actually just an experiment meant more to demonstrate the glass and blur effects and give people ideas more than be a stand alone component itself. If people can use it that’s great, but it’s probably best suited to be adapted and incorporated into an existing theme.
