Hi.. How do I set the Overlay colour to no colour or 100% transparent.

At this code, I have already set to 0, as you can see..

transparent: {
boxColor: "transparent",
contentBackgroundColor: "transparent",
boxCornerRadius: 0,
shadowType: "none",
showOuterClose: true,
showClose: false,
overlayOpacity: 0.0,
outerBorder: 2,
innerBorder: 0,
zoomBorder: 0

But I still see a background colour, so not really sure if that is the Overlay or a different setting.. I have set my html page to transparent, no colour..

overlayColor: 'transparent'

But perhaps what you really want is no overlay at all, in which case you would set modal: false

Yes, I think the modal:false would be it.. Where do I find that code to edit.

Please see "Configuring options" in the Instructions.

Despite my best efforts with my limited skills in this area, I have not been able to make the background transparent. It starts off white but then fills in with a grey then the box opens.. The box is fine, but I cannot alpha out the grey fill.. What am I missing..

I am assuming the white is transparent, but it is then filling in with the grey...

If the overlay is not transparent, then the overlayColor option has not been set to transparent for the floatbox in question.

If you don't know how to set options, please review the Floatbox Instructions on this topic. If you do believe that overlayColor has indeed been set correctly, please provide a link to a stripped down example page showing the problem and I'll be able to take a look and see where the problem lies.

I tried the value 0 but in the documentation 1 is transparent. I tried both to make sure.. Here are my settings..

transparent: {
boxColor: "transparent",
contentBackgroundColor: "transparent",

boxCornerRadius: 0,
shadowType: "none",
showOuterClose: true,
showClose: false,
overlayOpacity: 1,
outerBorder: 1,
innerBorder: 1,
zoomBorder: 1
},
naked: {
boxCornerRadius: 0,
showOuterClose: true,
showClose: false,
inFrameResize: false,
showItemNumber: false,
navType: "overlay",
showNavOverlay: false,
caption: null,
outerBorder: 0,
innerBorder: 0,
zoomBorder: 0,
padding: 0,
panelPadding: 0
},
fbInfo: { // applies to boxes opened from Info... links
boxCornerRadius: 6,
shadowSize: 0,
padding: 18,
overlayOpacity: 1,
resizeTime: 0.3,
fadeTime: 0,
transitionTime: 0.3,
overlayFadeTime: 0.3

The option for the overlay color is named overlayColor. The value for that option is transparent, if you want a transparent overlay. The options sections of the instructions clearly describe the simple task of assigning options. For example, data-fb-options="overlayColor:transparent"

I did not fully understand the data-fb-options..

It now works as I wanted it.. :D
