# Scroll Opacity

 * Hi!
 * I’m fairly new to CSS, PHP, and WordPress in general, so I’m not able to tell
   whether nisarg/WordPress is running HTML 5 or not – however I do believe this
   is possible as I have seen it elsewhere.
 * I would like to make the white, content displaying parts of my website (www.thedreaming.
   is) appear with about 70% opacity. Is this possible? I have tried editing the(
   style.css) code myself, however whenever I add the line “opacity” it simply defaults
   to a transparent display (box shadows, etc… aside).
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙂
 * If this isn’t possible, would there be a way to integrate some sort of faint 
   watermark instead?
 * For those who reply, thank you in advance. Reading over the support forums has
   been of inestimable value!!!

 * In answer to my own question, and for others interested, where something says
 * background: white, black, any other colour, etc…
 * Replace it with
 * background: rgba(255,255,255,0.7).
 * You can read up more on it here: [http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_colors_legal.asp](http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_colors_legal.asp)
   
   And here: [http://www.w3schools.com/CSS/css3_colors.asp](http://www.w3schools.com/CSS/css3_colors.asp)
 * For people looking for watermarks, (scroll / body) backgrounds can be scripted
   to link to an image. If the image is a .png, tif (?), or .gif (?) it can be saved
   with transperancy, then used as a background by uploading the image, and writing
   in the image link where it refers to the background, so the sript knows where
   to go fetch it for display.
 * If it doesn’t work you can always try adding !important! (or something like that,
   makes the statement overide any which may clash by being more !important 😉 ).
 * Good luck!
