  Hi There,

  I’m checking out the new theme Clean Home.

  I’m wondering if the white background behind the text is supposed to become transparent so that the background shows through? It makes it a little difficult to see the text, depending on the background used. See what I mean here:

  Thanks so much for your help!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Apparently so. There is a transparent overlay in the posting area and depending what scheme you choose, it also changes. Using a red background on my test blog with the default light scheme, the posting area is pink!

  The content area has a color of #FFFFFF (white) with an 80% opacity setting which means it allows some of the color from the background come through.

  Thanks you both so much. It’s kind of cool in a way, but it could also obstruct reading the text. And then there’s the danger of pink!

  I don’t see anything in the CSS about this, so I will pop over to the CSS forum to for advice. Thanks so much.
