Setting examples:

1.0 = no opacity : 0.1 = total opacity. CAUTION: Setting the opacity to 0.1 may result in you not being able to view your home page! Start with 0.9 and work backwards until you feel comfortable with the opacity.

Theme Transparency

As I am new to all of this on this site & "Baller95" test page is in maintenance mode, where could I see what this plug-in looks like & better understand what it covers. I sounds like just what I am looking for in my forum.

Thanks for your help in advance,

This is my test site, I use this on my themes. I defaulted to a theme that I am presently working on because it really shows the 'transparency'. There really isn't much choice with the transparency at least from what I have seen. It says to start with 0.9 and work backward until you like what you see. The problem is that if you have more than one theme, you need to make sure that the choice you make will work with all themes. This makes it limiting. Some themes could handle more transparency than others, so I just use the 0.9. Maybe I'm doing something wrong though. It wouldn't be the first time. It would be nice if you could use different transparency settings for different themes.

Thank you much for your help. That is not exactly what I was looking for in my forum. But it looks really good in that test site.

Thanks again,

Hello topcat1...

Sorry for the lateness to your reply and if you are still interested in what it looks like, here is my test site to show the transparency, which I have set at 0.8 for now.

aRMY83,

I had to remove this plug in from my site because it was causing a blank band across the screen for members using chromebook. This was confirmed by Ricky in a support thread here.



Since then I have had a couple of other members say they were getting something similar. I am waiting to hear back from them as to whether disabling the theme transparency plug in took care of their issues.

Disabling it definitely fixed the problem for Gibby. I was wondering if there was any chance you could fix the plug in, since I liked the effect on a couple of my themes.

Edit: Ok updating to confirm that a second person has said the problem (floating thing) has gone away since I disabled this plug in.

Hello blc

Sorry to hear that you and your members are having issues with this plugin. Unfortunately I know nothing about Chormebook and because of that, I have no answers for you or your members.

Gibby uses the chromebook.

The other two people use google chrome on windows. So, it goes beyond the chromebook.

Hello again blc

I don't use google chrome and only use FF and IE and it works just fine. Give FF or IE a try and see if it works in those browsers.

I use FF and its fine. It is Chrome that seems to be a problem. I have had the plug in installed for many months. We have been trying to figure out the problem for months. Now we know. A lot of people use chrome.

Is it possible to add an option to make the banner transparent or not? I love the plugin, except for the fact that it also makes the banner transparent. Thanks aRMY83

[aRMY83]

Hello Melody [MelloLily]

Thank you for the nice comments and to answer your question, it's solely for global transparency.

I'm new to all of this so I could really use some help. I downloaded the theme transparency to my computer but now I'm stumped as to how to set it up on my forum. Sorry I have o coding and or gaming skills so I'm lost.
