::backdrop - CSS: Cascading Style Sheets 编辑

The ::backdrop CSS pseudo-element is a box the size of the viewport which is rendered immediately beneath any element being presented in full-screen mode. This includes both elements which have been placed in full-screen mode using the Fullscreen API and <dialog> elements.

When multiple elements have been placed into full-screen mode, the backdrop is drawn immediately beneath the frontmost such element, and on top of the older full-screen elements.

/* Backdrop is only displayed when dialog is opened with dialog.showModal() */
dialog::backdrop {
  background: rgba(255,0,0,.25);
}

All full-screen elements are placed in a last-in/first out (LIFO) stack in the top layer, which is a special layer in the viewport which is always rendered last (and therefore on top) before drawing the viewport's contents to the screen. The ::backdrop pseudo-element makes it possible to obscure, style, or completely hide everything located below the element when it's the topmost one in the top layer.

::backdrop neither inherits from nor is inherited by any other elements. No restrictions are made on what properties apply to this pseudo-element.

Examples

Styling the backdrop for full-screen video

In this example, the backdrop style used when a video is shifted to full-screen mode is configured to be a grey-blue color rather than the black it defaults to in most browsers.

video::backdrop {
  background-color: #448;
}

The resulting screen looks like this:

See this example in action, after changing the color of the background cause the video to go fullscreen to see the change to the backdrop color.
