Could you post a link to the site you’re working on as an example. By default the twenty-ten theme does not have a background-color set on it.
When you say transparent, do you mean that you want the main content column to have a background color, but you would prefer the sidebar show-through to the page background?
I hope that made sense.

i want the main content and sidebar area to match the background installed already
You’ll want to set:
#wrapper { background: transparent; }
in your theme’s style.css file (hope you’re using a child theme!)
yeah i am thanks
where is the #wrapper located in the css if u know
i see a #container thats the same thing right
If your style.css doesn’t container #wrapper, then you can just add the rule I described above.
If you copied the original stylesheet from the parent theme it will be on line #147.
Hope this helps,

this is what i found under the structure in the style css
#wrapper {
margin: auto;
width: 940px;
}
#wrapper {
margin-top: auto;
padding: 0 20px;
so do i do away with the margin and width and just replace with the code u gave?
Nah, don’t do that.
You want to add the code: background: transparent;
to the end of the second one, before the closing bracket: }
does that make sense?
Try doing that and see if it works, or you can completely replace the two that you showed above with this single statement:
#wrapper {
margin:auto;
padding: 0 20px;
width: 940px;
background: transparent;
}
