We’d like to make the background of the blog roll semi-transparent, to better install on our WP page. However, in so doing, the background of all the posts are also semi-transparent and therefore illegible.

Hi there, @user15220 👋

You’d like to set the semi-transparent background in the general blog view (see screenshot), but this background shouldn’t be applied to the post popup, am I right?

Hi Max, Yes, it would appear that anything I apply to the background of the blog roll is also applied to the post pop-ups as well.

Thank you, @user15220!

Here is the solution from our devs:

1. White semi-transparent:

```auto
[class*='Background__Base-sc'] {
  background-color: rgba(245, 245, 245, 0.5)!important;
}

```

1. Black semi-transparent:

```auto
[class*='Background__Base-sc'] {
  background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5)!important;
}

```

Choose one of the codes (depending on your case) and add it to the Custom CSS field on the Settings tab of your widget’s settings. Try it out and let me know if worked 🙂
