By coincidence, I contacted Wikia Staff about this a couple of days ago after noticing that Special:Version said Wikia was using Version 1.0 of Math instead of the newest version.

The response was that this was a known bug which has very little chance of getting fixed. (And they didn't address the version number.)

I personally just wanted a transparent background.

edit: However, just because I've already asked Wikia Staff about this, doesn't mean you shouldn't also. It is a "low priority" bug because not many people ask about it.
