Is it possible to make editing area TRANSPARENT?

When I put the page into edit mode, the editing areas have white backgrounds. As I need this to be WYSIWYG, I need the editing areas to have transparent backgrounds, thus taking on the background colour of that area of the page template.

Can anyone provide instructions for making the iframe and body of the editing area transparent?

I have looked through the forum and not found a clear set of instructions for this.

Thanks,
Geoff

umm.... I think what you need to do is open your fckconfig.js file and edit whatever CSS file is located in the following property:

FCKConfig.EditorAreaCSS = FCKConfig.BasePath + 'css/fck_editorarea.css' ;

Edit fck_editorarea.css to match to text styles of your website.

You will have real problems trying to make it "transparent", the FCKeditor is a big collection of iframes, images, tables and various other HTML elements. You can't make all that transparent.
