 * Hi guys. I am using motion theme as my template and have customised it to suit
   my needs but I can’t see how to edit the code to include a semi-transparent background
   behind the posts. Can anyone help or point me in the right direction? I have 
   trawled through the forum but not found anything that shows exactly how. Any 
   help appreciated.

 * Is this the theme you are using?
 * [http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/motion](http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/motion)
 * As you can see, it’s pretty outdated…probably not a great way to go as you may
   run into compatibility issues.
 * That said, the best way to add a transparent background is to use a transparent
   image in the background CSS – you’ll need to make the image in an image program.

 * Thanks WPyogi
 * I am using Motion, yes.
 * How do I find where exactly to change that CSS. I can create an image ok or could
   copy and paste code to match background transparency as it appears around/behind
   widgets etc

 * Without seeing your site, no way to help with CSS questions specifically. Using
   a tool such as [Firebug](http://getfirebug.com) should identify the CSS or HTML
   to use.

 * Probably using the content div would work – though you may need to adjust some
   padding or margins as well:
 *     ```
       #content {
           background: put the image CSS here;
           float: left;
           overflow: hidden;
           width: 640px;
       }
       ```
   
 * BTW, did you just start using this theme? (Just concerned that you will run into
   problems with it down the road…)
