Opaque background on table

I have a scenic picture for the background of a page. I would like to make a
table, with an opaque background, over top to hold content, that will still
somewhat show my page background. How do I do this?

Hey Harlan, you really might want to remove that stick out of your ass. All
I asked for was some help and you've been nothing but rude. Oh, and you
might want to look THAT up in the dictonary.


I'm sorry you consider helpful advice politely offered to be rude. I
suppose if you were in Washington, DC, and stopped me to ask how to
get onto I-95 South to get to New York, you'd consider me rude if I
told you that you needed to take I-95 *North* if you wanted to get
anywhere near New York. I suppose the courteous thing for me to do
would be to give you the directions to I-95 South and let it be your
problem when you didn't realize your mistake until a hundred miles
later.

As for the *nothing but* rude part, OK, I suppose that even the parts
where I gave you the information you were looking for was sheer
rudeness.

In short, you're mistaken about whose ass the stick is up.

You obviously didn't see his other message.


I did, and it did not seem at all rude.

Sorry you're so easily offended.

Hi NG, I've read some time ago in this NG, that when you're writing a library it can be good practice to use an opaque type to point to your structures if the user doesn't need to modify the structure himself. This way the internal structure of the lib can be changed, and the lib can be recompiled, but the application using the lib doesn't need to be recompiled. But then there are two ways to define the opque type:

Hello to everybody, I'm trying to write a small program which is meant to interact with an sqlite database. My idea is to create once a database handler, which happens to be an opaque pointer (a pointer to a struct which is not defined anywhere, if I understood correctly). Now, if I had the possibility of instantiating a concrete struct, I would create a function like this: struct sqlite& myDb() {

As far as I know if I change the form's opacity, every control on the form also inherits that opacity. But in many real applications (not application programs), we see opaque text (100% opacity) on a traslucent background, for example text messages on TV. Or look at the title bar text of Aero. Background is translucent but the text is opaque. Is it possible to use 100% opaque text on a traslucent form?

With Windows Forms application, just setting the opacity to 0.5 gave me a 50% opaque normal styled (with the title bar, familiar three buttons, borders and resizable) window. Did the same thing to a WPF application, but the window didn't get translucent, instead only the client area got gray. Then I found I have to set AllowTransparency to true but then the window style must be set to None to set the AllowTransparency to true. In short,...
