oh well it sucks....I think I searched probably every thread and i don't find
anything about.....I want to make the bobackground a bit more transparent so
that the backgroundimage shine threw it, but not whole transparent......could
please anybody help me before i get sick with it....
The trick is that the background is NOT semi-transparent, it is totally
transparent, and the background image is faked to look semi-translucent. In
other words, the semi-transparency is illusionary.
For example, go to my userpage and view each of the image slices separately.
You'll see that the main image has two semi-translucent boxes on the JPEG
itself, simulated to be exactly where the main text boxes go on the userpage
layout. To accomplish this, take a screencap of your userpage and superimpose it
over your layout in Photoshop/PSP. This will tell you where the different boxes
of the userpage go, so you can fake translucency in your graphics program. Then
when you're filling in the color boxes on your layout, leave the table
background box blank for full transparency.

translucent effect too
...
nice explaination tama-neko
thank's and I thought that we can mach it hear and I am just to stupid to find
it , now I know it that i'm not, so thank you !
Question on this method... seeing how the content boxes on the userpage are
variable in size (depending on window size), how do you generalize that
"transparency"?
The way I do it is that the left menu is one single box, no divisions for where
the real boxes are on the page. On the right side where the main content runs I
have 2 boxes - one for the title (ie on your userpage this is where it says your
username, your status and your level) and one for everything else. This box
stretches all the way to the right, and over the right-side menu which I do not
account for (since browser width is too variable).
It's not perfect, but it's good enough for me
