  Hello,

  I just upgraded in order to customize my CSS, but I can’t figure out how to make the border around my posts transparent in order to still see the background image.

  Here’s the blog in order to see what I am talking about – http://www.genericflux.wordpress.com

  If anyone can help me with this, it’ll be great!

  Thank you!

  I looked at the theme. The two windows show in source code as “objects”. The CSS border applied to the object has a 0 px border.

  Thus it appears that the wide frame around the two windows is part of the object and not part of a border.

  Also, generally it seems as if a border is part of the element it encircles. If there is a way to apply transparency to a border without applying it to the element it encircles – I don’t know what that might be.

  (W3Schools article on transparency)

  Cheers!

  @bobbol: ?????

  @genericflux: If you mean you want to remove the grey frames, add this:

  .hentry, .widget {
  background-color: transparent;
  }

  (This will also remove the bg from the sidebar. Or don’t you want that?)
