Put the below in style.css at the bottom or in your theme options if it allows you to add additional CSS and see if that is what you wanted.
.page-heading, .page-heading:hover, .block-background {
background: none;
}

you, sir, are brilliant! that got rid of the overlay.
the page title is still there as well as a minus symbol to minimize the page (and just see the background).
any thoughts on how to remove those as well?
Ohh I thought you wanted to just get rid of the background.
Change it to the below to add the other ones.
.page-heading, .page-heading:hover, .block-background, .page-heading h3, .minimize {
background: none;
}

sorry if i wasn’t clear. i only want to see the slideshow on each page (plus the menu on the left).
i changed the theme css file with both of your suggestions.
i didn’t notice any difference when i added the 2nd version of the code
i still see the page name and minimize button. view here:

correction. your code modification for style.css removed the – sign from the page title bar but the page title still remains.
thanks again.
Try to remove the h3 part from .page-heading h3 so it is just .page-heading

i didn’t notice a difference with that h3 removed
i inspected the element in firefox for the page title that i wanted to remove.
i grabbed a screenshot.

it seems to be referring to <h3></h3>
<header class=”page-heading block-background block-inner”>
i don’t know what file this is in.

i looked at my page source code and see the code i want to remove
<div class=”main-container container”><div class=”row”>
<header class=”page-heading block-background block-inner”>
<h3>gallery 3</h3>
<div class=”minimize”></div>
</header><!– .page-heading –>
i just don’t know what file its from on my server.
(i know its titled “gallery 3” with page id “2” but can’t find any file named that.
The below should hide it. Can you link to what page you still see it on with that code in style.css?
.main-container {
display: none;
}

oh, you are a genius!
that seems to have worked.
thank you!
I’d like to pay you something via Paypal for your efforts.
I don’t have much but if you send your email address, I can send you a few bucks.
By the way, any thoughts on relocating the menu to the side?
Tom
No need to pay. This support forum is for free.
Moving the menu would be hard. Maybe making the pictures start below the menu would be easier.
Try
#supersized li {
top: 70px;
}

thank you.
where does that code go? with the header info?
Same place. These are just CSS changes.

Hey Aaron,
I didn’t intend to bother you again. While I was able to fix that one issue with your help, i didn’t know how to use the theme i had to create links on the side. so i’m experimenting with other themes again. i’ve gone through about 50 themes in the past week. going through lines of php and css code that i don’t understand is frustrating.
Here’s my question.
Since I only need a very basic design, can you recommend a theme or online guide so I can create it? I have a plugin to create the background slideshow on each page. All i need on top of that is links on the side on each page. thats it.
all of the tutorials i’ve looked at build a page from scratch using a horizontal menu and lots of other elements i dont need. i don’t even need a menu, just a few links to the other pages.
can you (or anyone else) point me in the right direction?
Tom

Disregard, please.
I think I figured out enough to get me going in the right direction.
Thanks for your help.
