Hi Karl

I really like this X3... thanks for this... well done!

Quick question: how can I make transparent the layout in the Home menu (index)?

I'd like to see the photo slideshow with only Logo and menu (Home, Gallery..) but withou the opaque layout. .. is it feaseable?

I hope you can understand what I mean :-)

thx
Vincenzo

You mean you don't want the semi-transparent background behind the menu? Go to your index page -> settings -> details, remove [menu-absolute-20], and instead add just [menu-absolute].

Hi,

I feel ashamed, I can't get the menu transparency on my new website http://www.tiltandstreet.com
I would like to have same as http://www.ehretic.com

I've tried many different option of style (even tried the same settings).

Am I doing something wrong or is it an issue ? :roll:

Perhaps you have recently upgraded, and were not aware that slideshow "use as intro" is now a plugin, directly available from the page -> gallery -> slideshow settings? How did you set this slideshow in the first place? Perhaps by using separate classes and such as was required with earlier versions?

If you set it to "white on 12% black", you will get just that. It seems you have set it to "normal", which is ... well "normal", no changes. Normal works for some pages, depending on the images that are used, but often you will want to use a semi-transparent BG.

I think my problem is that I'm here since the begining of X3... I probably missed this part somewhere ! Thanks, that did the trick ! ;-)
