Thread: Creating a semi transperent shape

I'm in the process of putting together a website, and i'm trying to create a shape or border that is only semi transparent, I want to still be able to see the background of the webpage, but i want to be able to see my text better also.

Here is a clip of the html code im using for the background:

*/
body
{
background: #020202;
color: #9a9a9a;
background-image:
url('http://img329.imageshack.us/img329/6962/59589439sy1.jpg');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: fixed;
background-position: top left;
margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
padding: 0px;
}

basically my background will stay static, while the text, images, etc. will move over top of it. my problem is that the background has both black, gray's and white in it making getting a text color that will show up on all three very hard.

Thus why I want to put a border around the text that has a semi transparent fill color.

Any help with some html ideas, or ways to do it within bluevoda would be great.

Hi Nick...

Maybe this is what you want:

Draw a shape the form and size you want to.

Open shape properties, by right clicking your mouse

Fill it with some colour: withe may be good,

Select it solid

And then, in "shade opacity", set it untill you get the desired result.

Hope it works,

Susana

Ahhh thank you so much that worked perfect.

You're allways welcome!
