- Type in your own favorite hex code (learn more at htmlcolorcodes)
Hex codes

Paid users can to use alpha values (transparency values) as well.
Background opacity slider
Controls the level of transparency.
Set to 0 for full transparency (hex code alpha value 00), or 100 for no transparency at all (hex code alpha value FF)
Alpha layer 🔒
An alpha layer is automatically enabled, and becomes visible when the selected background color that has opacity less than 100%. This helps give context to colors as you adjust the level of transparency, and is only visible on the widget’s configuration page.
Alpha layer slider
Control the darkness of your alpha layer. This slider is useful as a visualization tool to make your text more easily readable when using certain color combinations. This is only used during configuration, and does not affect how your widgets appear when embedded.
