Title: Make background transparent Last modified: August 31, 2016 --- # Make background transparent * Resolved [maledictum](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maledictum/) * (@maledictum) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/make-background-transparent-2/) * Hello, I am trying to make the background transparent on the homepage. Currently, the code from the theme looks like this : * ``` /* Body Background Color */ .l-body { background-color: ; } ``` * However, I do not know where this hooks up, so I’m trying to make sure where it would be best to use the `` tag, if that’s indeed the best way to go about this.

Instead use: * background-color: rgba ( 0, 0, 0, 0.5 ); * = black background with 0.5 opacity. * background-color: rgba ( 0, 0, 255, 0.3); * = blue with 0.3 opacity * [webperts](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webperts/) * (@webperts) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/make-background-transparent-2/#post-7127175) * You can also try below code to make background color transparent for all browsers. * .webperts_transparent { width: 100%; -ms-filter:”progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft. Alpha(Opacity=50)”; filter: alpha(opacity=50); -moz-opacity:0.5; -khtml-opacity: 0.5; opacity: 0.5; } * Hope it will work for you. * Thread Starter [maledictum](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maledictum/) * (@maledictum) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/make-background-transparent-2/#post-7127427) * Thank you!
