Hi @Rijin,
If you just want your element to be transparent, it’s really as easy as :
background-color: transparent;
But if you want it to be in colors, you can use:
background-color: rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.4);
Or define a background image (1px by 1px) saved with the right alpha.
(To do so, use Gimp, Paint.Net or any other image software that allows you to do that.
Just create a new image, delete the background and put a semi-transparent color in it, then save it in png.)
The best thing to do would be to mix both, with the rgba first and the 1px by 1px image as a fallback if the browser doesn’t support alpha :
background: url('img/red_transparent_background.png');
background: rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.4);
