Hi there, I am new to the Blog Widget but once I open a post, it shows a grea or darkened background behind the expanded post in the widget. I found no way to change that anywhere. It would be awesome to be able to select the background colour, if necessary. This way, I could chose a neutral white background to match my colour scheme.

Anyone else got the same issue?

Hi there and welcome to the Community, @Kieper_Music 👋

We’ve added this code to the Custom CSS field on the Settings tab of your widget’s settings and now the background behind the popup is transparent:

```auto
[class*="Backdrop__BackdropContainer-sc"] {
  background: transparent !important;
}

```

  

Check it out and let me know if you like the result 🙂
