You’ll need to set some CSS and probably create an image with the transparency you want. Are you using a Child Theme or do you have the plugins, “Custom CSS” or “Jetpack”?
You would need to modify the CSS code — preferably in a child theme or custom CSS option or plugin. Does your theme have custom CSS set up?
If you post a link to your site after you have the above ready to go, someone can help you with the specific code.
EDIT – posted at the same time — sorry for duplication.
thanx for the quick reply… i dont know what you mean by ‘child theme’… and i dont have these plugins… but shall i install them?

Try the Jetpack plugin as an alternative to a Child Theme for CSS changes. Jetpack has a section named Custom CSS which holds and applies your CSS modifications externally, so you don’t edit the theme’s files and compromise your changes when the theme updates.
i see! thanx for the quick replies…
here is my site im working on:

In the Custom CSS section of the dashboard, enter this;
#branding {
background: transparent;
}
If that doesn’t work, try this;
#branding {
background: transparent !important;
}
it doesnt work… i already wrote this in the original css file… i think the wordpress backend/dashboard overrides this file… here you must choose a color in the theme options…

It doesn’t look like your Jetpack plugin is using its Custom CSS bit.
Here’s a guide for using the Custom CSS section of Jetpack http://jetpack.me/support/custom-css/
i installed jetpack, but as i click on the edit ccs link, i get the following message:
You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.
so i installed ‘custom css’ plugin and this shows an empty field where i can put css… i put the code here again but still i see a white header…
thanx again for your time

Your webpage view-source:http://play.annenas-multimedia.nl/ (source) doesn’t have the transparent CSS in it. I don’t think that plugin is working correctly.
it suddenly works! i guess it was a cache problem?
thank you for your time 🙂
