 * Hi!
 * I am trying to set a background color for the text on the slider. I want the 
   background color to be semi-transparent. So I did the following:
 * <span style=”background-color: rgba(69,69,69,0.5);”>HERE IS THE FRONTPAGE TEXT!
   </span>
 * It seems like the rgba function doesn’t work. I also noticed that the CSS opacity
   property is also not working.
 * How to set opacity for the background color? Could you help me with that, please?
   Thanks in advance.

       .stat_content_inner span{
           background-color:rgba(69,69,69,0.5);
       }
       ```
