# Transparency Possible?

 * I love the widget on my other sites, as I use a background image. Right now I’d
   like to put it into the footer on one of the sites, but I’d like the background
   to be transparent. Is this possible?

 * Yes in your styles add:
 * `.awesome-weather-wrap { background: rgba(255,255,255,0.4); }`

 * I added
    background: rgba(255,255,255,0);
 * In place of the .awesome-weather-wrap {
    background: #333;
 * It didn’t seem to make a difference. The widget it still pink. So I left it in
   the plugin’s .css file, and put #333 in the widget itself because it’s closest
   to the footer color.
 * [http://rockwalldowntown.com](http://rockwalldowntown.com) – you can see the 
   grid pattern I’m trying to achieve. Transparency would be easier because the 
   image URL for it just ends up being basically solid #333 colored anyway.
 * What am I missing?
 * Thanks, by the way!

 * You may have to make the selector a bit more specific so it takes precedence.
   Try this:
 * #second .awesome-weather-wrap { background: rgba(255,255,255,0); }
 * I just did a test with Inspect Element and when you achieve this look it’s going
   to look great! Let me know if the above works, if not we’ll figure it out!

 * Awesome!! It worked like a charm and look AWESOME. Now I can install it in my
   other sites with and without transparency. BOOM.
 * Thank you!

 * Hi,
    I would like to achieve the same purpose. Where should I put #second .awesome-
   weather-wrap { background: rgba(255,255,255,0); } ? Thanks ! Great plugin !

 * This should be added to the ‘style.css’ file found in your theme.

 * If your slider has the ability to include shortcodes than yes. Here is a shortcode
   example:
 * `[awesome-weather location="Montreal" units="F" size="tall" override_title="MTL"
   forecast_days="2" hide_stats=1 background="http://urltoanimage.jpg" custom_bg_color
   ="#cccccc" inline_style="width: 200px; margin: 20px; float: left;"]`
