Category Images - Adventuresmbw - 2023-12-15
All of the categories (Movies, Shows, etc) cycle through images within that category with a white title over the image. If I upload my own permanent image for a category, the white title dissappears and I can't figure out how to get it back. How do I restore the overlapping white title to categories with custom images? (Attached image shows 2 of each for an exmaple)[attachment=1839][attachment=1839]

Custom images replace the old one, the text is part of the image so that will disappear. If you want the text on your own images you'll have to add it yourself with an image editor.

How is it part of the image when the image behind it is constantly changing? It has to be coded to appear on top of the images

You've already answer your own question: "It has to be coded to appear on top of the images". The text is part of the image.

I think it would maybe be more elegant to overlay the category-name via css
So one could just change it to any image and still have the category-name over it.
To not exclude anyone who maybe likes to style every category on their own accord -> make it optional?
well just a thought.

"On top of" and "a part of" are 2 completely different things. That made no sense. I find it hard to believe that they coded the text to literally embed itself into the rotating images rather than coding it appear as a layer over the top of whatever appears.

why is it so hard to believe? php has been able to do it for over ten years https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13267846/how-to-add-text-to-an-image-with-php-gd-library
if you don't believe, in Chrome right click the image, click Inspect, copy the image url, paste in a new tab and you will see the text is Part Of the image
honestly this is one of the least spectacular things you can do with images programmatically
