    I'm building a landing page using the Agency Pro child theme and I need to have the home-middle and primary sidebar areas with a transparent (around 50%) white background instead of the opaque white background that it comes with. How can I do it? Can you help me?

    Thank you!!

    Hi,
    I've added opacity to the following 2 bits of CSS. Those examples should get you started. Notice how I'm using a scale of zero to one, not a percent figure, so .5 gets you 50%. Check contrast carefully, as opacity can be really tricky. Make sure content is readable. Adjust to taste.

    .sidebar .widget {
      background-color: #FFF;
      opacity: .5;
      border-radius: 3px;
      margin-bottom: 40px;
      padding: 40px;
    }
    
    .home-middle {
      padding: 10% 0 5%;
      opacity: .5;
    }
    

    Cheers, Dave
