Possible to make only the background transparent, not the text?
It is very easy to make a gadget transparent, by just right-clinking - Settings - Transparency. My problem thought is that the then text also gets transparent, which makes it more difficult to read. I only want my black background to be 30% transparent but the text should still be solid. Is that possible?

Re: Possible to make only the background transparent, not the text?
It is going to be necessary to know what is setting the background for your skin. It it BackgroundMode / SolidColor in [Rainmeter], or an Image or Shape meter set to a specific size and color, or is it an actual image?SweWolf wrote: ↑July 8th, 2020, 11:59 pm It is very easy to make a gadget transparent, by just right-clinking - Settings - Transparency.

Re: Possible to make only the background transparent, not the text?

That appears to be the Gadgets suite from SilverAzide

If so, simply move the mouse to the top right of the skin(s) and select the little wrench "settings" icon.
Use this settings panel to set the Opacity from 0 (transparent) to 255 (opaque).
