I don't want to use that skin but I really like how there is a semi transparent white background in the posting area, so that the background image is visible but the text is not illegible. I'd like this semi-transparency to be in the posting area and all the modules, which I'll probably leave right where they are. (Default) The person that made the skin was kind enough to post the code for it but I'm not savvy enough to figure out which parts I need for this one little change. Oh, and even if I did find the relevant code, I would not know where to put it in the CLAF! <!-- begin code provided by createblog.com --><br /><html><head><br /><title>girl's room</title><br /><br /><meta name="copyright" content="May * Star. this template was coded by HAND and the code is property of <br />maystardesigns.com. in order to use this skin, you MUST keep a visible, working link to <br />http://maystardesigns.com at all times. if you modify the code, you may say 'modified by <br />[your name here]' BUT the link and credit to maystar must remain!! and just because you changed<br />the colors does not mean you designed anything! the design is the CODE!! as long as you use any portion of<br />this code, a link must remain! these things took like 40 hours to make! and you are using it for FREE!! <br />that's like $400 of work for free!!! you are lucky!! we poor designers sit here wasting are time to bring you<br />FREE designs!!! at least give us credit for our work!! it's kinda like getting a FREE Monet painting and <br />leaving on the autograph/signature! you wouldn't cross the name off a painting would you?!! you may not re-distribute<br />this code!!! you may NOT modify this code unless it is for PERSONAL use!! you may not sell this code!!!<br />maystardesigns.com has exclusive rights to this design and code!! questions? email legal@maystardesigns.com<br />[questions will be answered by a legal representative and most likely not may*star, sorry.] ALSO! if the <br />template has a .gif or .jpg image, you MUST upload it to your OWN website!! it's against the law not to!!"><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> <style><br /> body, td, p {font-size : 12px; font-family : lucida console; font-weight : normal; font-style : normal; text-decoration:none;line-height: 1.3em;} <br /> <br />.alt {color: #ffffff;font-size : 30px; font-family: lucida console;font-weight: normal; text-decoration:none;line-height: 1.3em;}<br /><br />.may {color: #ffffff; font-size : 11px; font-family: lucida console;font-weight: normal; text-decoration:none;line-height: 1.3em;}<br /><br /><br /><br />a { <br />font-size : 12px; <br />font-family : lucida console;<br />font-weight : normal; <br />font-style : normal; <br />text-decoration: none;<br />line-height: 1.3em;<br />cursor="crosshair";<br />} <br /> <br />a:hover{ <br />color: #ffffff; <br /> background color: #404040; <br />font-size : 12px; <br />font-family: lucida console;<br />font-weight: normal; <br />font-style : normal; <br />text-decoration: none;<br />line-height: 1.3em;<br />cursor="crosshair"; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px<br />} <br /><br /><br />body {<br /> font-size : 12px;<br /> font-family: verdana;<br /> font-weight: normal;<br /> font-style: normal;<br /> text-decoration: none;<br /> font-weight: none;<br /> scrollbar-face-color: #FFffff;<br /> scrollbar-shadow-color: #FFffff; <br /> scrollbar-highlight-color: #Ffffff;<br /> scrollbar-3dlight-color: #FFffff;<br /> scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #ffffff;<br /> scrollbar-track-color: #FFffff;<br /> scrollbar-arrow-color: #404040; <br />} <br /><br />.blog {<br />overflow: auto;<br />padding: 5px;<br />filter: alpha(opacity="80");<br />margin: 0px;<br />height: 325px; <br /><br /> <br /><br />}<br /><br /><br />.side {<br />overflow: auto;<br />padding: 5px;<br />margin: 0px;<br />height: 225px; <br />}<br /><br /><br /> <br /></style><br /></head><br /><br /><br /><br /><body bgcolor="#000000" text="#000000" link="#666666" vlink="#666666" > <br /><br /><BODY background="http://www.angelfire.com/moon/maystar/maysroom.jpg" bgproperties="fixed"> <br /><br /><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" bordercolor="#ffffff"<br />align="top" valign="top"><br /><tr><td <br />height="100" valign="top"><br /><div align="left"><br /><div id="alt" class="alt"><br />girl's room<br /><br /></td></tr><br /></table><br /><br /><br /><table bgcolor="#ffffff" width="20%" border="5" bordercolor="FFffff" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="15" <br />align="right" valign="top"<br /><br /><div style="filter: alpha (opacity=65, style=0);"<br /><br />><br /><tr><td <br />height="100%" valign="center"><br /><div align="left"><br /><br /><div id="may" class="side"><br /><br /><b>old stuff</b><br /><br><a href="http://maystardesigns.com">archives</a><br /><p><b>links</b><br /><br><a href="http://maystardesigns.com">home</a><br /><br><a href="http://powow.com/maystar/designs.html">maystar designs</a><br /><br><a href="http://maystardesigns.com">maystar designs</a><br /><br><a href="http://maystardesigns.com">my journal</a><br /><br><a href="http://maystardesigns.com">pictures</a><br /><br><a href="http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/478/may.html">may's songs</a><br /><br><a href="http://maystardesigns.com">lipstickparty profile</a><br /><br><a href="mailto:ME@hotmail.com">e-mail me</a><br /><br /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /></td></tr><br /></table> <br /> <br /><table bgcolor="#ffffff" border="5" bordercolor="ffffff" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="10" width="55%" height="50" align="center"<br /><br /><div style="filter: alpha (opacity=65, style=0);"<br /><br />><br /><br /><td valign="top" align="justify" height="100%"<br /><br />background="" > <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div id="alt" class="blog"><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> <Xanga><p><br /> <Xanga_Date_Header> <br /> <a name=""></a><br /><h7><b><$Xanga_Date$></h7></b> <br><br /> </Xanga_Date_Header><br /><p><$Xanga_Posts$> <br /><br> <br /><a href="YOUREMAIL HERE@hotmail.com">~me~</a> at <a href="#" onMouseOver="window.status='permanant link '; return true" onMouseOut="window.status=''; return true"></a> </p><br /></Xanga><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><br /><br /></table><br /><br /><div align= center><a href="http://maystardesigns.com">maystar designs</a><br /><span style="display: none;">Get awesome <a href="http://www.blogskins.com/">blog templates</a> like this one from <a href="http://www.blogskins.com/">BlogSkins.com</a></span></body><br /></html><br /><!-- end code provided by createblog.com --> Sorry if this has been asked/answered before, but I must not be using the right search terms.
