I just recognised a strange behaviour.

My settings are as below

In Dark mode all looks good

Switching to light mode shows this

Anything wrong with my settings? Or a litte bug?

Hi @WeaverPixel,

Good catch — nothing wrong with your settings, it’s a bug on our end. The overlay gradient was only applying your opacity to the dark-mode colour, which is why light mode renders fully opaque.

The fix will be in the next Elements update.

Thanks for the clear report 🙂
