   Hi! I have search this topic and still haven't been able to make this work. I would like my forms to be transparent or translucent (except the text boxes), to show the page somewhat underneath. Is that even possible?

   I tried selecting the box in the background section with the red line through it, but didn't change anything even on the template. The color number remains.

   Also, typically I just send a client a link to a form. Do I need to embed the form on a wordpress page to get this transparency to work?

   Thanks!

   Is this what you mean by transparency? http://www.kcmhosting.com/contact.htm

   I'm not sure what you need, sorry.

   Please take a look at this site: http://www.emilylondonportraits.com

   Click on Book a Shoot, then the pink button "Design my Portrait Session"

   You'll see that the form basically sits on top of the page where the button is, with a transparent background.

   Thanks!

   @karenf: The effect you are referring to is called lightbox and it is done with javascript. The form that is displayed has no connection to the lightbox effect, you should be able to display any web content that way, including forms created with Machform. You will need to get javascript libraries for some version of lightbox. It is free, open source code that comes in a few different varieties. If you have a web developer working with you or that you can consult, she can help you with this. If you do all your website support yourself, you can try to figure this out yourself or ask for help. Unfortunately, I can't provide any guidance beyond what I've already said.

   @karenf: I'm not a coding expert, I just dabble here and there, but this seems like it would be possible to accomplish this rather easily with some custom css code.

   If you go to your theme for the form there is an option for pasting advanced CSS code. Not exactly sure what the code would be but just a line or two of opacity rules for the "form background" should do the trick.

   It's Friday so you may not get a response from Yuniar or other staff until Monday, but I bet he knows the answer.
