 * Hi There,
 * With our default form, the background should be transparent. Would you mind posting
   a link to the site with the active form that doesn’t have a background?

 * Hey Trine,
 * After taking a look at your site, it looks like we may need some clarification
   on what you (and foxandq, of course) are looking to specifically change. If you’re
   talking about the background of the input fields themselves, you can try adding
   `
   background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.1)` to the CSS for .mc_input. The last value
   can be altered up to 1 and down to 0 to change how transparent the background
   should be and the first three numbers can be altered to change the color itself.
 * It’s possible for a WordPress theme to have styles for input areas overriding
   MailChimp’s .mc_input class, in which case the aforementioned background-color
   change would also have to be applied there.
 * If the desire for a transparent background is on some element, though, can you
   tell us what that is?
 * Thanks.
