Modularity Lite – Transparency and Slide Show

Hi there,

I’m using Modularity Lite and have two questions about the theme. There is another site I like http://www.sondersphotography.com/blog/ which, instead of the transparency which comes with the theme, uses a white background for the “live” area.

I would like to change the transparency in the Modularity Lite theme to be all white, no transparency. But I don’t see in the code where the transparency is located.

Also,I like the slideshow feature of Mod Lite, but would like to specify which photos it uses, as http://www.sondersphotography.com/blog/ does. Mod Lite pulls images from recent posts, but I’d like to specify which images in my media gallery it uses instead. Is there a way to do this?

Very new to code, so any help would be appreciated! Thanks.
