Really basic questions on transparency

[alan_sh]

I'm doing something really silly here, but I can't see it. I have two issues.

I have a very small site - you can download it here https://www.dropbox.com/s/er29u0497hm7d ... n.zip?dl=1

1. On the master page, I have a menu in which I have set a background main menu of light blue. But it's not showing up. So, what is stopping it?
2. On the master page, I have set a background mode of gradient and set it to an orange colour. Withing WWB, it's not showing up on the other pages, although it does show up when I publish or preview it. Once again, why doesn't it show up inside WWB?

Thanks for any advice

1. The background color is not showing because the alpha value of the color is set to 0
2. For performance reasons, the master page background is currently not rendered in the content page, because this would use a lot of extra resources. This only works for solid colors.

Thanks. Where do I set the alpha value and do you have a recommended number to set it to?

Also, why is it set to zero?

You can set the alpha value of the background color in the color picker.



The default is 255

[alan_sh]

Sorted. Thank you.

I wonder why it was set to zero? I didn't do it deliberately.

cheers

Maybe you have copied it from another project?
The default is 255, so the software did not set it to 0

[alan_sh]

Nope - created from scratch.

I'll see if I can reproduce the issue.

cheers
