 * Hi,
    is it possible to make all the tables, blog entries, input fields etc have
   a transparent background instead of white so that you can see the image through
   that I have set as a background image for the page content(using the full width
   layout)? I want it to look similar to this [http://caitlinwicker.com/shop/](http://caitlinwicker.com/shop/)
 * By default, all the tables and contact fields etc have a white background right
   now…
 * Thank you,
    dammsugare

 * Hi there,
 * Yes, this is possible. Could you post a link to your own website so we can take
   a look and make a code suggestion for you 🙂

 * Hi,
    I cannot link because my site is only on my local server yet. I figured 
   most of it out though, I only have three questions left:
 * 1.+2. How do I change the color of the contact form fields(by default white) 
   and the billing&shipping fields(also white by default)?
 * 3. How do I change the border color of the woocommerce tables and fields?
 * Thanks a lot,
    dammsugare

 * You can try this css:
 *     ```
       input, textarea {
           background: transparent;
       }
       form.checkout input.input-text, .woocommerce input.input-text {
           border-color: red;
       }
       ```

 * Great, this did the job. Is it also possible to make the sticky header transparent
   like in your demo 1, but instead of white my background image should be transparent?
   I cannot use this
 *     ```
       .is-sticky .headerclass {
       background: rgba(255,255,255,.9);
       }
       ```
   
 * since it would make the header white and transparent. I tried
 *     ```
       .is-sticky .headerclass {
       opacity:.9;
       }
       ```
   
 * but it made the logo and the topbar also transparent!

 * You can’t make a background image semi transparent unless you make the whole 
   div and all the content semi transparent.
 * You can edit your image in photoshop make it semi transparent there then save
   as a PNG so it keeps the transparency. then you could use that as your background.
