Hi, I would like to know if there is a way to change the color of the overlay in the carousel. I feel that it is a little bit too dark and was wondering if it would be possible to create my own overlay to add a pattern or an image for example. I saw that the overlay is managed by Jetpack and it is not hosted on my server. Could we have the option in the settings page to change the overlay color, transparency or image file?
