    Hi im sorry if this has been covered before .
    Im using the twentyeleven theme. Ive changed the background and am using the dark version.

    How can i change the black background (on the dark theme ) so something else ?

    Im looking to use a semi transparent grey so that the underlying background is visible though .

    Apologies if this post does’nt make sense .

    The standard method to to change the background is like this:

    body {
	background-color: transparent;
}

    Now without knowing which colors you are interested in, it is difficult to help you any further.

    Hope this gives you a start.

    the current setting for the dark background option is in the /colors/dark.css file:

    body {
	background: #1d1d1d;
	color: #bbb;
}

    However it is not the body background you need to change but the #page

    #page {
	background: #0f0f0f;
}

    you would over-ride this in a child themes style.css, adding your color and transparency, read the note in the link on the dark option and using !important, or your changes may not happen.
