 * Hello,
 * I working on this website here: [http://www.JesseMelanson.com/newsite](http://www.JesseMelanson.com/newsite)
   
   using the Onetone theme.
 * The section that list “Jesse Melanson – the visual arts, resume, portfolio” I
   would like to have a black, lowered opacity color block behind that text and 
   the down arrow. So that the text (that is white) is more visible.
 * Would anybody have have any suggestions on how to go about this?
 * Thank you for any suggestions

 * Try wrapping the h1 and the text under the div with class sub-title in span.
 *     ```
       <div class="banner-box">
   
       &nbsp;
       <span><h1>Jesse Melanson</h1></span>
       <div class="sub-title">
   
       <span>The Visual Art, Resume & Portfolio
   
       <a class="scroll" href="#about"><img src="http://www.mageewp.com/onetone/wp-content/themes/onetone/images/down.png" alt=""> </a></span>
   
       </div>
       </div>
       ```
   
 * Then add this to your css…
 *     ```
       .banner-box .sub-title span {
           background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
           padding: 25px 20px 30px;
       }
       .banner-box span {
           background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
           padding: 80px 40px 40px;
       }
       ```
   
 * Hope that works 🙂
