Hello pixer and welcome! :D

Ye, it's possible to change any background and use images if you want, but exactly which background do you want to change?
If you are referring to the most external one, you have to change it on body:
Code: [Select]
body {
background-image: url(.....);
}

Oh okay, then I got it the first time. ;D

You can apply the background to body as I showed you above, then if you want a transparent background...
You have to set it for #wrapper to begin with.
Then I'm not sure which one of the following:
Code: [Select]
.forum_category,
.forumposts,
.content_category
And some of the following as well:
Code: [Select]
.board_row,
.childboard_row,
.forumposts > div,
.forumposts > li,
.content_category > div,
.content_category > li

And you may (or may not, depends) add some transparency here as well:
Code: [Select]
#top_section

But I'm not really good with CSS...

I'm not a css expert either.

I think something like that may give you some hints:
Code: [Select]
body {
background-image: url(.....);
}

.forum_category,
.forumposts,
.content_category {
opacity: 0.6;
}

.board_row,
.childboard_row,
.forumposts > div,
.forumposts > li,
.content_category > div,
.content_category > li {
opacity: 0.6
}

@Emanuele you are not expert but you are my master  :)
the my final code is this i hope to help someone else:
i open portal.css in theme/default/css because i use simple portal
Code: [Select]
body {
background-image: url(http://www.mysite.com/folder/image/bg.jpg);
}
#top_section,          /* for header section*/
.wrapper,               /* and this for real opacity if i dont add this the color is only clear and not trasparent */
.childboard_row,
.category_boards,
.forumposts > div,
.forumposts > li,
.content_category > div,
.content_category > li {
opacity: 0.9;
}
but i have another little question:
if i use 0.9 for opacity is ok but not perfect, if i use 0.9.5 the opacity gone, if i use 1.0 gone again,
what value should i use?

Thanks @meetdilip  :)

Probably you added a dot more than necessary? 0.95 instead of 0.9.5?

This morning my first thought just wake up has been to parameter 0.95, and then on the forum I read your answer. :)

Now is perfect! 8)

Thanks.
