 * I fiddled around with various background colours for my link buttons. I realized
   I prefer a transparent background but see no way of reverting to a transparent
   background for the buttons in the UI. Could you assist? I might be overlooking
   something obvious.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fsetting-button-background-to-transparent%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hey, there!
 * This is a great question. I was confused myself when making the plugin 🙂
 * On a browser, there’s no such thing as transparent. It always defaults to white.
   So the trick is to (re)set the background to white.
 * Hope that helps!
 * Thanks,
 * Corey

 * I appreciate your taking the time to respond. I tried checking white and predictably
   it just made the background colour of the button white, not transparent.
 * I took the time now to make a full page site with Gutenberg blocks, so no further
   effort should be spent on supporting me. Good luck with the plugin.

 * Oh! I misread your message. You were asking about buttons. Sorry about that!
