# [Plugin: Jetpack by WordPress.com] [feature request] Audio shortcode wmode transparent option

 * I would like to suggest to make available an option to make the background color
   of the audio player transparent.
 * Right now the player has a default white background, and it can be changed by
   the shortcode inline parameter bgcolor, but it only accepts opaque colors, and
   the flash paramtere wmode is also set to opaque.
 * My suggestion is to make the default behavior for the player to be transparent,
   by setting wmode transparent, unless there is an explicite bgcolor set, then 
   set it to opaque.
 * Lines to modify for a quick fix:
    `128 $bgcolor = '';` `254 <param name='wmode'
   value='$wmode' />` And add a line before in around 246: `$wmode = $bgcolor ? "
   opaque" : "transparent";`
 * Hope to see this in a future version!

 * This is an old post, but can you please elaborate on how to make the background
   color transparent?
 * The white background will not work on my current design.
 * Thank you so much!

 * [@thebeeobee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thebeeobee/) That’s not possible
   at the moment, unless you edit the plugin files as proposed by Antal.
 * I took note of the suggestion though, and we’ll consider adding this option to
   a future version of Jetpack!
