Im trying to lower the opacity of the background of my horizontal menu to 0, using css code. Is this possible? If so how?

On the editing menu, I know you can lower the opacity of the background color, but for a specific thing im doing, I need to code it.

I have this at the moment (I put a color to test if its working or not):  
.horizontal-menu {  
background-color: antiquewhite  
}

Hi, crayoarts !!

I haven’t tested the functionality, but by using rgba, it might be possible to set the opacity (alpha value) as intended. 🙌 😉

```javascript
.horizontal-menu {
  background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.5);
}

```
