(Sorry, my captured image was too huge to upload, so I resized, but image became somewhat blurred)

add this into your ~/MagicMirror/css/custom.css

.module.calendar {
  background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0.6);
  border-radius:8px;
  padding:8px;
}

If it work,
Instead you can use this also.

.module {
  background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0.6);
  border-radius:8px;
  padding:8px;
}

This bg css is working great @Sean .

I actually used this in the @shbatm mmm-carousel as a custom css class.

@Sean said in How add transparent background to modules:

.module.calendar {
background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0.6);
border-radius:8px;
padding:8px;
}

I have tried this format …

.module.calendar {
  background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0.6);
  border-radius:8px;
  padding:8px;
}

and it works perfect for most modules but simply will not work for currentweather, weatherforecast or compliments?
Any ideas folks?

@broberg Hi mate. Thanks for taking the time.
I will copy it below… The PushBullet Notification one works fine but ones i mentioned don’t…

 body {




.module.currentweather {
  background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0.6);
  border-radius:8px;
  padding:8px;
}


 }

.module.MMM-PushBulletNotifications {
  background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0.6);
  border-radius:8px;
  padding:8px;
}



 }

.module.compliments {
  background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0.6);
  border-radius:8px;
  padding:8px;
}


 }



 }

.module.weatherforecast {
  background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0.6);
  border-radius:8px;
  padding:8px;
}

Regards

@JonoGee

Okey,
I see your problem.

You have put the .module.currentweather{} within the body{ }

Just remove the first line body { and the lonely } before .module.MMM-PushBulletNotifications {

Then it will work just fine.

And btw, You have a lot of stray }-brackets remove them aswell

  color: #666;
}

  color: #999;
}

.bright {
  color: #fff;
}

.module.clock {
  background-color:rbga(255,255,255,0.4);
  border-radius:8px;
  padding:8px;
