I was trying to change the sliding effect of bootstrap 3 carousel to fade in/out. I followed the instruction given here Can the Twitter Bootstrap Carousel plugin fade in and
Try this carousel fade example. It will show you how to change opacity for prev and next buttons.
.carousel-fade .carousel-inner .item {
opacity: 0;
-webkit-transition-property: opacity;
-moz-transition-property: opacity;
-o-transition-property: opacity;
transition-property: opacity;
}
.carousel-fade .carousel-inner .active {
opacity: 1;
}
.carousel-fade .carousel-inner .active.left,
.carousel-fade .carousel-inner .active.right {
left: 0;
opacity: 0;
z-index: 1;
}
.carousel-fade .carousel-inner .next.left,
.carousel-fade .carousel-inner .prev.right {
opacity: 1;
}
.carousel-fade .carousel-control {
z-index: 2;
}
