Using CSS3 you don t need to make your own image with the transparency   Just have a div with the following  position absolute  left 0  background  rgba 255 255 255  5     The last parameter in background   5  is the level of transparency  a higher number is more opaque    Example Fiddle

Like the answer previous  but I d put   before  just for stacking purposes  If you want to include text over the overlay  a common use case   using   before will should fix that     dimmed     position  relative      dimmed before     content         z-index  10    display  block    position  absolute    height  100     top  0    left  0    right  0    background  rgba 0  0  0  0 5

Here s a pure CSS solution  similar to DarkBee s answer  but without the need for an extra  wrapper div    dimmed     position  relative      dimmed after     content         z-index  10    display  block    position  absolute    height  100     top  0    left  0    right  0    background  rgba 0  0  0  0 5       I m using rgba here  but of course you can use other transparency methods if you like

For a div-Element you could just set the opacity via a class to enable or disable the effect    mute-all      opacity  0 4
