::backdrop

This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.

The ::backdrop CSS pseudo-element is a box rendered immediately below any element rendered in fullscreen mode (and above any lower elements in the stack).

dialog::backdrop {
  background: rgba(255,0,0,.25);
}

Fullscreen elements are part of the top layer's stack, i.e., they are rendered in front of all other content. The ::backdrop pseudo-element can be used to style or hide the underlying document.

::backdrop does not inherit from any element and is not inherited from. No restrictions are made on what properties apply to this pseudo-element.
