Overlay

Create an image overlay, which comes in different styles.

Usage

Add the .uk-overlay class to an element following an image to create the overlay panel. To create a position context, add the .uk-inline class from the Utility component to a container element around both. Finally, add one of the .uk-position-* classes from the Position component to align the overlay.

<div class="uk-inline">
  <img src="" width="" height="" alt="" />
  <div class="uk-overlay uk-position-bottom"></div>
</div>

  <div class="uk-overlay uk-position-bottom">
    <p>Default Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.</p>
  </div>
</div>

Style modifiers

By default, the overlay has padding, but no additional styling. Add one of these modifier classes to add a background color to the overlay.

Default

For a simple background color, add the .uk-overlay-default class. Or, you can use Tailwind CSS bg-* classes. You can even add backdrop-blur-* for blur effect.

Primary

For a prominent background color, add the .uk-overlay-primary class. Or, you can use Tailwind CSS bg-* classes. You can even add backdrop-blur-* for blur effect.
