3805486 - Latest Home Page: Unable to Apply a Colored Opacity Overlay on Background Image

• Open Theme Manager and select the active theme.
• Navigate to Fine Tune > Placemat and set Background Opacity to display a translucent overlay.
• Enable and access the Latest Home Page.
• Observe that the translucent/opaque overlay does not appear on the Latest Home Page, although it is displayed on other pages.
• Disable the Latest Home Page and verify that the overlay effect becomes visible again on the Legacy Home Page.

The opaque or translucent overlay layer is not part of the Latest Home Page design. As a result, the Latest Home Page does not support adding a colored background overlay with reduced opacity on top of the background image. 

This behavior is expected and works as designed. The design of the Latest Home Page is intended to ensure better visibility and readability of the Greeting and Quick Actions sections. To achieve a similar visual effect, modify the background image before uploading it. For example, you can add a subtle overlay, reduce the image intensity, or adjust the image colors using an image editing tool before uploading the image to the Home Page.

If you would like additional control over background image overlays in the Latest Home Page, please submit an enhancement request. For more information, refer to KBA 2090228 - How to submit an enhancement request.
