Question

This must be so simple but I can’t do it: if I put a textblock in a container and make the container’s opacity < 1, the text inherits that opacity, no matter whether I try to override it in the textblock. How can I keep the text 100% opacity while in a semii-transparent container?

<Grid x:Name='LayoutRoot'>     <Border Background='red' Opacity='0.5'>         <TextBlock Text='TextBlok' Opacity='1'/>     </Border> </Grid> 

Answer 1

Will this do the trick?

<Border Background='#80FF0000'>     <TextBlock Text='TextBlok'/> </Border> 

Setting the background to be transparent, not the whole Border element…
