Changing transparency of lightbox background

Does anybody know if you can change the transparency of the lightbox background?

Running into this same need. I know how to let the background bleed through on a layer. The reason I am not doing a layer is because this same content needs to be viewed throughout the course, not just on one slide. I do not want to duplicate layers x10. I just want a single lightbox text to maintain, that shows the text I want with most of the underlying slide still visible to the user so they know they're just seeing the help info and then going back to the base slide.

Hi Ambre,

Thanks for reaching out and sharing these details!

Currently, the supported method to customize a lightbox in Storyline is by using layers, but feel free to look at this discussion where some folks share a workaround using JavaScript. 

This method goes beyond our realm of support, but it did the trick for other community members! Feel free to jump in there with questions, and someone will lend a hand!
