Hello,
I am trying to figure out how to make the description box in my gallery transparent without making everything in it transparent. What more do I need to add to this code opacity:0.4; or do I use a completely different code?

Got a link to this gallery?

BTW, will move this thread to customization forum shortly.

Yes, but I took the transparent code out so everything is normal or not transparent. Sorry for posting in the wrong spot.

Looks like the gallery description at the top is transparent, is that what you're wanting? And all the
journal entries, photo/caption, with white background?

Actually, I didn't add a background to the very top description part yet. I only added a white background to the the below images/description area. What I am trying to figure out is how to get that white background transparent without making everything in it transparent as well.

Play with the .40 transparency. lighter .01 < ... > .90 darker

.journal_entry {
        background:rgba(255, 255, 255, .40);
        text-align: justify;
    margin-bottom: 25px;
    padding: 10px 15px 10px 15px;
}

To have it apply only to this gallery.

.gallery_26122411 .journal_entry {...

Wow Thanks Allen!! How do you know all this stuff?

I have another question if you have time. You know how in the gallery settings you can change it to journal (old) , filmstrip .. etc. Well the above code does that only work for the journal type gallery? Or would I have to change the name .journal_entry to like .filmstrip_entry?

This CSS targets only journal (old) style, each style has a different name for use in CSS.

I guess my next question would be how do you figure out what the names of each style in CSS? Is that something I can do in my firefox or dreamweaver?

NVM I figured it out. Thanks for all the help Allen!
