    Hello,
    I have been reading a lot on this and installed firebug, but I am still confused as to where its located in style.css or if it is even located in style.css. What I want to do is change only the front page content area to have a opaque look to it. I noticed on one post I need to set something like
    div.content{

    background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7);
/* rgb = 0 0 0 is black color */
/* a = 0.7 is 70% of alpha channel */
}

    for my front page but I cant find div.content for just the front page in my style.css. here is my website
    http://www.jaystoutphotography.com/
    also if anyone knows of a good post on how to use firebug as a beginner would be great!
    Thanks Tim

    Ok, I fixed the body part by creating a front-page.php file in my child theme and then just removing the complete body in it, But I am still not able to figure out how to make the header and the footer transparent or apply a opaque look to them. Any suggestions? I have seen other sites with this, and i tryed to check how they did it with firebug, but I am just learning firebug, and could not figure it out.
    Really need some help with this if anyone can help thanks.

    ok once again i have managed to come up with a fix for the header background, by doing

    body #page {background:transparent;}
#main {padding: 0;}
#access {margin: 0 auto; box-shadow: none;}
#primary {background-color:#fff;}
#branding { border-top: none; }

    in my child style.css. and i got to footer to go away by makeing a front-page.php in my child theme and removing the call to the footer. I am new to this and not even shure if i should be doing it that way. Now I still need help on removing the white border lines that are still visable for the menu, the font color for the menu area, and i want to make the header and menu load at the top of the screen and not scroll down. Anyone able to help me with this please?

    ok so, i have fixed the white line issues also, by useing the follow code in my child style.css

    .main-navigation ul.nav-menu, .main-navigation div.nav-menu > ul {
    border-bottom: 0px solid #EDEDED;
    border-top: 0px solid #EDEDED;
    display: inline-block;
    text-align: left;
    width: 100%;
}
.main-navigation ul.nav-menu, .main-navigation div.nav-menu > ul {
    display: none;
}
.main-navigation ul {
    margin: 0px;
    text-indent: 0px;

 }

 footer[role="contentinfo"] {
    border-top: 0px solid #EDEDED;
    clear: both;
    font-size: 0.857143rem;
    line-height: 0;
    max-width: 68.5714rem;
    margin-top: 1.71429rem;
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;
    padding: 1.71429rem 0px;
}

    Only thing i have left now is to figure out how to move my header and nav menu to the top left of the screen. Anyone able to help with that?
