How do you make the white part of your default layout transparent?

Also, when you make it transparent how can you only make the WHITE part transparent and not your images and texts and everything else because it makes it hard to read and I don't like it. I only want to be able to change the WHITE part and not have anything else be transparent I want the rest to stay normal.

CODE

<style type="text/css">
{ meeesh4createblog }
table, td{  background-color:COLOR; border:none;}</style>

Try this? Replace COLOR with "transparent"
Or you could just make your background gray if you are sticking with the default layout.

Sorry that doesn't work and also I wanted a transparent one where I'd be able to make it transparent without making anything else transparent and I'd like to control the transpareny.

Thank you :)

Also, I'm doing a image as my background and I want it to show through.

You could just make all your tables/background transparent also :/

Maybe if you could post a link to your profile I could understand better? I don't know if you're using a default layout or not.

Well my page looks exactly like Toms like in the example above, there is no tables. I just have a background image and I want to make the white part of the default layout see through so you can see the image better. I've found a code to make it transparent but it makes EVERYTHING transparent and I don't want that. If someone can give me a code where it won't do this please :)

CODE

<style type="text/css">

table, tr, td { background-color:transparent; border:none; border-width:0;}

body {

background-color:ffffff;

background-image:url('');

background-attachment: fixed;

background-position:bottom left;

background-repeat:no-repeat;}</style>

This should work, in that case. Just change the background color and put your image url and adjust to your liking.

But, I don't get what you mean by "it's making EVERYTHING transparent"

I mean it makes my text, images my whole page transparent and it makes it hard to read and see. I only want the white part like in the example to be transparent and I want to be able to control the transparency to 90, 80, 70...

[imperfectionistx]

I think you can only control the transparency of tables. And you don't have any (?)
Did you try the code above? It should atleast change your bg from white to transparent if you put that. You might want to try adding tables and changing their bg color to transparent as well. If you haven't tried that already, do try, it should work.

^I've also found that before, when I made the tables opaque, some of the tables would cut off... so there would only be half a table there, even though it was opaque.

Oh now I think I understand this person's question -_-;;
I thought they meant make the white part TRANSPARENT, not OPAQUE, since that's what they first said.
I was posting codes to take away the white part entirely and make the bg of the page show through, instead of adjusting the opacity.

So yes, like Mike said,

You can't have the background be opaque without making the text (and images) opaque, as well.

There's no code out there wow I'm surprised. Thank you.

I don't really get what you mean but my page looks just like a default layout and I want to put a background image behind it but I want the WHITE part (in the example) to be opaque where you can see part of the image alittle bit without it affecting my texts, images and the colors of anything else. Is there another way I can do that?

I have the image here and I can show you and how my layout looks.
