How to make the Hot Spinner background transparent

I actually want to add a background image behind the spinner and info panel.

then add background on #container :

#container{
background-repeat: repeat;
background: url(../../images/<your back pattern>.png);
}

you can add this at bottom of:

newsite/modules/mod_hot_spinner/tmpl/css/jquery.holest.carousel.css

Please excuse my novice understanding of all this. How do I access this CSS file to edit it? I am unable to find this in my Joomla site.

So you have /modules directory ion joomla root, you start from there and path is:

/modules/mod_hot_spinner/tmpl/css/jquery.holest.carousel.css

Can we update this information for Joomla 3?

The methods described in here do not work (at least in J3).
I even set the background to Blue in the module and created a transparant .png file and pointed the css url to that - and it still just dark grey, almost (but not totally) black.

Please review and update this for J3.
Ideally - I want random images in the background wallpaper (got it) with transparant spinning icons...

Respectfully...

Hello,

It should work on all Joomla versions. Please provide link so we can check what's wrong on your site.

Thanks,
