 * Hi all,
 * Recently I’m making my own website with WordPress with theme Twenty Eleven. Now
   I want to make my menu buttons transparent and give it opacity so that I can 
   see the background through the buttons. And then when I hover it I want the buttons
   to become a little bit darker, but still see-through. The problem is that this
   doesn’t work, no matter what I try.. I tried to put transparent background and
   opacity on #access, #access a, #access li, #access div and #branding in my child
   css, but it won’t become see-through.. I have the idea that the buttons become
   see-through, but then there is something behind the buttons which doesn’t. But
   I don’t know what.
 * I would be very happy if I could get help from you guys (and girls:)!
 * Looking forward to your help.
 * Thanks and greetings,
    GehaktmoleN

 * I put
 * #access {background: none; box-shadow: none;}
 * in my CSS, but there will still be a white space behind the buttons. No change
   when l also add opacity to it. Could someone tell me how to get rid of this white
   thing so that I can see the background? Would be most appreciated! 🙂
