Haha hey guys,

I just made a Ewan McGregor background for my Livejournal (http://livejournal.com/~moldysockssuck) ...

Even though the background isn't exactly the best lol, I'm fooling around a lot with the different layout looks available to me...

And I think what I want to do, is make the boxes where my entries are, transparent....

I've seen it done, and I was wondering if anyone could please help me?

I hope you guys understand what the heck I'm talking about lol...

:buckt: Thanks!

I'm assuming you already have a stylesheet inside the GLOBAL_HEAD tags, so just put this code somewhere in that stylesheet. :)
table,tr,td{ filter:alpha(opacity=70); }
You can change 70 to any number you want between 0 and 100, with higher numbers being less translucent. Good luck!

Thank you very much!....

The only problem is, when I used that, now everything including the text is translucent as well...

I just want no background, therefore allowing you to see the whole page background behind the text...

Is that possible?

Thanks though :)

Yeah, that's the downside of that code. :( Hmm... what if you went to that box thing where you define your own color scheme (the one above the overrides) and just leave the Background Color spot blank? I think I did that once by accident, lol.

Eh, good thought...but no it doesn't work :idea:

Haha I don't know why, but it just won't work for me...I even tried putting in "transparent" instead of the color code (Wow, am I stupid...)

^ This girl's diary has no boxes apparently, but in her code, I don't see the GLOBAL HEAD tag...but maybe I don't know what to look for...

Now hers is extremely hard to read and all, but thats what I think I'm trying to get at...with the page background being behind the text, not individual box backgrounds...

But thanks for that code, it still does look cool haha

:)
