 * I have been lucky that the plugin is working great since the update, but I am
   struggling with a style issue and was hoping someone can help. I want to make
   a white or black background behind the slider that has a 50% opacity. Anytime
   i set the opacity is also affects the opacity of the images. I have tried all
   of these:
    .galleria.photocrati-nextgen_pro_horizontal_filmstrip .galleria-container#
   gallery .galleria-container.notouch
 * I also tried using a png but it did not give the desired effect.
 * here is a link to the site: [http://www.christinechiocchio.com/mixed-media/](http://www.christinechiocchio.com/mixed-media/)
 * WordPress Version: 3.6.1
    Nextgen Version 2.0.31
 * Any ideas on how to create a background with opacity without affecting the images?
