I'm trying to get the center column background color & Footer background color to have a opacity quality so the main wallpaper background image will show through.

Any ideas?

Kinda like this site; http://www.twelve-restaurant.co.uk

If you want the main background to show thru, set the background color to 'transparend' in all the locations that cover the background (i.e. post styling, center styling etc) If you want to make the center area have an opacity, you can do the following

Go to ATO->Style & edit CENTER COLUMN and in the section 'Content ABOVE the LOOP' add the following at the very end

<div id='mycenter'>

next go to the section 'Content BELOW the LOOP' and add the following AS THE FIRST LINE

<div id='mycenter'>

next go to ATO->Add HTML/CSS Inserts->CSS Inserts and add the following

div#mycenter {
	filter:alpha(opacity=60);
       -moz-opacity:.60;
	opacity:0.6;
}

Almost perfect. The only problem is that it changes the opacity of the content in the center column, I need the background of the center column to have an opacity, while keeping the content at 100%.

Also, minor typo in your code.

div#mycventer {
filter:alpha(opacity=60);
-moz-opacity:.60;
opacity:0.6;
}


Thanks for helping me with this.

That's what I thought you wanted, which is why I first suggested you change the background's of the areas involved to transparent

The code changes everything in the center column to have the same opacity (ex. 60%).

I need the posts to be solid, no opacity.

and the background (ex. background: #d9d9d9 to have an opacity.

The code that you wrote changes both the Background and Post Content to have the same opacity.

Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear in my original post.

Walt, the two suggestions were an eithor/or not both.

Let me see if I can rephrase the issue - you want to have a background image on the page. You want the image to be opaque under the center column and under the footer but 'full strength' behing teh sidebars.

Is that right?

(Remember, you will want an image that can repear if the page is taller than the image)
