Did you want that primary navigation to have a transparent background? Easy peasie.

Still struggling with trying to match the background color of the element that you really want hidden with the color of the element behind it? Your days of agony are over.

See the background color of the navigation on top of the pretty mountains of Tahoe? Of course not! It’s transparent!

So whether you want to make that nav bar not really be a bar or hide the ugly gray of some widget title area, this trick is all you need. Now wasn’t that easy?
