Caption colors can be set in the Meme Generator.

Imgflip updated the site yesterday (2019-05-17) how user specified colors are stored. Now 3,4,6 & 8 character colors codes work.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_colors

Basically what that means is transparency is also supported now for all the usual colors when you use 8 characters where the usual 6 character color code would go before. Right now you have manually enter an 8 character color code, that might change if the Imgflip color picker is updated with a second slider or something like that.

The last two characters of an 8 character color code specifies 256 levels of transparency, 00 is fully transparent, ff is fully opaque.

The trick to both translucent and transparent captions is turning font shadow off, also using font outline is pretty much the only way to go with transparent captions.

Shout-out to user VagabondSouffle who showed me how to make translucent captions a couple days ago with 4 character color codes.

The caption settings I used are shown in my comment image.

The color codes for the translucent and transparent captions in my meme.

Top caption:

"font_color": "#eeee0077",
"outline_color": "#000000"

Bottom caption:

"font_color": "#ff00",
"outline_color": "#ffffff"

Was a happy accident.

I've seen G-Man appearing in memes by a bunch of users lately. Wasn't sure how they were getting found but looks like it's now one of the most popular user uploaded transparent images and on the button where you can add sunglasses and such.

Well it's about time. I'm surprised he hasn't caught on before.

When I tap the glasses I just get the top 5 there. Probably it's my tablet.

I had seen a bunch of G-Man altered stuff on Deviantart in addition to the first ones I found by one artist. I've been meaning to upload more and get rid of some I hardly use. Plus I got some screenshots of YouTube videos I want to add too.

Claybourne alerted me to a new user the other day using that face image. Just made like 3 memes, no comments.

I don't see them as part of the sunglasses button right now, that was up earlier though.

I have a bunch of transparent Grumpy Cat, Doge and other heads I should add as transparent user templates.

When I put #ff00 as font color and #ffffff as outline color, the outline also dissapears

Hold on now it works thank you Andrew

What did you change? It doesn't work for me-

You basically replace the hex code with #ff00 and swap from shadow to outline (it doesn’t work with shadow

how do you dye the text?

#eeee0077 I think, and swap to outline

didnt work for me- or at least it was very dark

Maybe turn outline into another color?

For it to be transparent

OOOHH oki

Thanx! Something else to learn. Nailed it!

Imgflip. It's better than ever.

Tried it my first time.
A success indeed ;)

Class 👌

Apparently I can't do this on my laptop

Possible your OS and browser might be the reason, I've heard Safari doesn't play nice with some imgflip functions.

For example, users who make memes on a Wii can get a blue meme back for no extra charge.

Somehow this horizontal screen effect happens to

If you're willing to give it another try, maybe use a different browser if you can, start with translucent captions. Make sure you turn Font Shadow off, a low font outline value is ok and optional. Try using one of the four character color codes and "more options" settings shown here.

Color code #abaa seems to work well.

it works
