I think unfortunately it's not possible in your situation. For the Minimalist layout, the numbers fade to black using a gradient, on top of a black background. I accomplished this by placing a div that uses a gradient over the numbers. The div effectively goes from transparent to black, making the numbers appear to fade away at the bottom. Your example layout has an image in the background of the numbers. That image would also fade away using the technique I'm describing. If it was a solid black background, I believe it could be done.
