Re: [css-backgrounds] Add opacity to <bg-layer> definition

Just to give an idea of what it's worth:

If there'd be an opacity parameter in the <bg-layer> definition, it would be 
easy to add logos or watermarks to a page (e.g. for subtly depicting a test 
environment), like demonstrated in the image attached.

Can't use cross_fade() for this purpose, because you cannot apply background
attributes, like repeat, to cross_fade() images each.

Hence, it seems impossible to define a rule like this with cross_fade():

    div
    {
      background: 30% url('a.png') top left no-repeat fixed
                         , url('b.png') center / contain no-repeat fixed;
    }


Moreover, I'm missing a transition definition for cross_fade(). From the
spec I understand that cross_fade() is only be used *within* a transaction.
Thus, I'm missing a definition for transitioning the following two rule
sets:

    div
    {
      background: cross-fade(30% url('a.png'), url('b.png')) center /
contain no-repeat fixed;
      transition: background 2s linear;
    }

    div:hover
    {
      background: cross-fade(60% url('c.png'), url('b.png')) center /
contain no-repeat fixed;
    }


Cheers,
Axel

If you just need to make an image partially transparent, you can use
the cross-fade() function.  (Somewhat supported.)
