 * Got a couple of questions regarding the backgrounds on the buttons and the main
   title area of Frontpage Slideshow. My questions are in the case of the main title
   area, I notice if I set the opacity, let’s say to 50%, both the background as
   well as the text in it goes transparent on me. I just want it where only the 
   background is partially transparent, the text should not be.
 * Also, for the buttons on the left or right, is it possible to use background 
   images? I was hoping to use a gradient to separate the buttons a bit more and
   make them stand out. Right now, they’re all solid and don’t really stand out 
   too well.

 * Hi,
 * About the main title area : since the text is actually contained by the div that
   materialize the background : the opacity changes affetcs both text and background.
 * About the buttons : you can use your owncss styles to add them some image background
   or colors…
 * Anyway : its an open-source software and you can easily change what you need 
   if you know how to do so.

 * Well, I tried adding a background image but it wouldn’t take. Just the flat color.
   That’s why I wondered if there was a bug somewhere.

 * Here’s what i did to .fs-entry:
 * .fs-entry {
    background-color: <?php echo $options[‘values’][‘fs_button_normal_color’]?
   >!important; background-image: url([http://www.bigeasytexas.com/wp-content/themes/bet/images/main/bkg_purple.gif](http://www.bigeasytexas.com/wp-content/themes/bet/images/main/bkg_purple.gif))!
   important; background-repeat: repeat-x; margin: 0; overflow: hidden; }
 * Color shows up but image doesn’t. Am I doing this to the right class? If I get
   rid of background-color, it just appears as black.

 * Nope. No background image and black for the color.
 * I double checked and yes, the image is there ([http://www.bigeasytexas.com/wp-content/themes/bet/images/main/bkg_purple.gif](http://www.bigeasytexas.com/wp-content/themes/bet/images/main/bkg_purple.gif))
   but it’s not showing up in the slideshow.

 * Weird. Didn’t have that issue on my Machine. However, I just upgraded and I see
   the new way to do it in the Admin and it works. Thanks for thinking of that useful
   feature.
