Transparency in Profiles
 

Is it possible... and if so, how?

Css?

Hi Lynne. How have you been?

Could you elaborate on your answer?

If you google "css transparency", you will get several hits on how to use css to make things transparent. So, I was suggesting you find the css 'code' to make images/backgrounds transparent and then apply the css to your style.

Those codes are predefined. A default value would not be sufficient. The option needs to be interchangeable. Wouldn't this require something more in-depth?

What do you mean the codes are predefined? I guess I'm missing what it is you want. I thought you wanted to modify the profile images on your member.php page. In the MEMBERINFO template it says:
<td id="profilepic_cell" class="tborder alt2"><img src="$prepared[profilepicurl]" $prepared[profilepicsize] alt="<phrase 1="$prepared[username]">$vbphrase[xs_picture]</phrase>" /></td>

So add in there style="whatever-you-want-for-tranparency" to the td tag. I'm pretty sure that should work. (Although, maybe not, I've never tried it, but go ahead and try it and see.)

I would like to include profile blocks as well as corresponding images. Transparency should a selectable / customizable option though.

Ah, much more complicated. I guess you'd have to make a custom profile field for them to select it and then add in the style="whatever" line if they selected "yes" (or whatever) in their profile field.
