   Hi im sorry if this has been covered before .
   Im using the twentyeleven theme. Ive changed the background and am using the dark version.

   How can i change the black background (on the dark theme ) so something else ?

   Im looking to use a semi transparent grey so that the underlying background is visible though .

   Apologies if this post does'nt make sense .

   The standard method to to change the background is like this:

   body {
   	background-color: transparent;
   }

   Now without knowing which colors you are interested in, it is difficult to help you any further.

   Hope this gives you a start.

   the current setting for the dark background option is in the /colors/dark.css file:
   

   body {
   	background: #1d1d1d;
   	color: #bbb;
   }

   However it is not the body background you need to change but the #page

   #page {
   	background: #0f0f0f;
   }

   you would over-ride this in a child themes style.css, adding your color and transparency, read the note in the link on the dark option and using !important, or your changes may not happen.
