anni why not try an <IMG> tag and set its opacity and give the IMG the widths and heights of the body so it looks a background IMG?

I believe it would be : body { background-color: red; opacity: 0.5; } or try: body { background-color: rgb (0, 0, 0); background-color: rgba (0, 0, 0, 0.5); }

In stack overflow they say the easiest way is to use an image editor to make an image transparent and then add it into your code, otherwise you need to figure out how to target the child element without affecting the parent element or sibling elements. they suggest the photo editor called Gimp.

@Brains Thanx for your ans but it is not working. i tried it before but it changes opacity of whole elements in html page but doesn't change the opacity of body back-ground image.

Maybe it SHOULDN'T be possible to do? What's behind the background anyway??? By definition the background is the BACK image - there's litteraly nothing behind it. If it didn't have 100% opacity, there should be something behind it

You could use linear-gradient with background image, linear gradient would make a layer of color toward the background image. background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom, rgba(255,255,255,.5), rgba(255,255,255,.5)), url(image.jpg); https://code.sololearn.com/WGeXCDL6IMRg/?ref=app
