On the main page (im using a modified vista-k theme) the news (1.63) article blocks seem to be creating a black transparent overlay on top of my central column news article which is dulling the pictures and giving the edges a hard look which it shouldnt do as the theme has by default the image sets for curved edges but this transparent box is going over the top! Any ideas where the removal for this can be found? Ive looked through the style.css and the news item folder but im now lost - any help woul;d be much much appreciated, cheers!

Look in css file: themes/vista_k/style.css

.itemText (line 32)
{
margin-top: -1px;
padding-top: 5px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
line-height: 1.5em;
background-color: #000000; opacity: 0.65;
color: #ffffff;
}

Thanks for the reply! I tried that and whilst it DOES remove the background box, it also makes the text and images included in the news article equally transparent (i.e invisible) Is there something else I should do?

Also for me it looks different:
