I’d like to change/delete the grey that is behind my slideshow gallery on my front page (sealiondesigns.org). I have premium & access to CSS, and I found this as a way to get rid of it:

div.slideshow-window {
background-color: inherit;
border: none;
}

but when I put it in under Appearance-Customize-CSS nothing happens, what am I missing? I am a true beginner!

I don’t think you’re doing anything wrong, I think there might be a problem with the CSS instead. Try this and let me know if it still doesn’t work.
```
#gallery-91-5-slideshow {
  background-color: transparent;
  border: none;
}
```

It appears as if you may have deleted and then reinstalled the gallery and the gallery specific ID number changed from 91-5 to 91-6. Change your CSS selector to look like this and all will be good.
