Transparent forum background

[JamesB]

How can I make the first and second alternating colours transparent so the sites background image will show through? I assumed it would be as easy as removing the color code in the CP, but it just makes the backgound white.

Any ideas?

EDIT: I removed the color code from "Table Border" in admincp. Is there a better way to do this so I can actually keep the table borders?

Thanks.

I know this is over 6 years old, but no replies? lol

I want to do this as well. I have a background I would love to show through the forum, I just have no idea how to do it.

Thanks.

Type in the word transparent where the color code is and save.

Hey, i've altered that under 'Body' and 'Standard CSS Attributes' for 'Background', and the sample colour shown changed from black, to clear. However when I loaded the page, it looked no different. Is there something that could be stopping this?
