 * I would like to be able to control the transparency of the background so that
   I can still see that there is a website behind the carousel. I am not ale to 
   find where to put in the css to do this. Anyone have any idea how I can do this
   instead of just having it solid white?
 * Many thanks,
    Houston

 * Hi Houston,
 * You’d need to override the .jp-carousel-overlay class in your CSS. For example,
   to set a black background with 80% opacity:
 *     ```
       .jp-carousel-overlay {
       background:#000;
       background:rgba(0,0,0,0.8);
       }
       ```
   
 * And for a white background:
 *     ```
       .jp-carousel-overlay {
       background:#fff;
       background:rgba(255,255,255,0.8);
       }
       ```
   
 * For browsers not supporting rbga transparency, they’ll just see a solid background
   color.
