Design question

Hi all,
I would like to use an effect similar to the example from the gallery here:
http://iscorebaseball.com/main.php?t=blaze" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
What I want is to have the menu button area transparent so the buttons are sitting on top of the main background as on the example. Does anyone know how this was done?
Will greatly appreciate any help.
Thanks for looking!

Nobody?
I know the site is broken, but from the gallery page (
http://iscorebaseball.com/gallery/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; *the second site*) you can see what it used to look like, and even when you click through to the site you can still see an example of how the menu area is transparent so that the main background shows through. I would like to also use this effect if anyone knows how this was done.
Only way I can see is with css or some type of hax or manual edit bt ftm. Any ideas? Admin? HALP!

I think i got it for you.. RE: How to float the menu buttons in the FTM Team Web site, over a background image.
It seems to be more of an oops than an intended feature i think.
Log onto your team site as admin, go to settings page.
1) load the background image you want under "browser background", "background image",
2) now in the "main background", "background color" field, instead of entering a color code, highlight the existing color code aand hit delete and then enter. voila, your menus should be on top of the background image.
You can do the same thing for the "header, background color field" but you can not do both at once it would seem
b/c - this is a one shot thing, it will not save it for next time, the "delete enter" must be your last thing on settings page.
I originally thought you were asking for wix.com tips... (Blaze and Bears were both early users in the forum of wix.com) , but now see in your second post you were talking about the FTM site.
If you hacve a header image to insert, this should solve it for you.

Tex you DA MAN!
That worked perfectly. I knew it must be some bug/hack or perhaps a remnant of an old design feature that could no longer be replicated.
Thanks for taking your time to help me out

Very cool!
I will post a link to the site after I get a bit more done. It's looking pretty nice compared to the standard (cr@9) eteamz/leaguelineup stuff.
