Forum:Page transparancy

How can I make the pages of a wiki transparant so you can see the entire background? --Sonny Black(Talk) 16:45, May 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * You need a transparent image, like the one that Assassin's Creed Wiki uses. Then you set that as the background with CSS.


 * So the code for that would be  .There's a number of other ways to achieve this, but the trick with the semi-transparent/transparent image is the easiest and doesn't cause breaking other parts of the skin. Sovq 17:07, May 1, 2011 (UTC)

I'm not toally sure what you mean by that. How can I make the current background I use transparant without altering anything? --Sonny Black(Talk) 17:52, May 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * In order to see the background you need to make the 'content' part of the page transparent. Most wikis use a semi-transparent image for that. so if you add .WikiaPage { background: url(http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101022055252/dragonage/images/e/e5/Gray24_80.png); } to your MediaWiki:Wikia.css page you'll achieve your goal. You might want to replace this image with a semi-transparent image of your own, since this one is taken from the Dragon Age Wiki and they might want to change/remove it sometime.
