I can not for the life of me figure out how to make a background color, when editing MAYO's custom color settings in the settings form, to make a background color transparent. With regular CSS, it is always an option to override "background-color" with "background-color: transparent;" yet if I put "transparent" into a field and save the form, it complains that, for example, "Page background must be a valid hexadecimal CSS color value." Leaving blank is also not an option.

Is there a reason we are not allowed to have transparent colors, at least for the page-wrappers, header and such? I really am wanting to use MAYO, but to also be able to have WHITE text on a huge background image of the tag (or page div tag), where the background image covers the whole page. I find having to make my own theme that inherits MAYO and then has a CSS file that overrides the colors set in the settings form very much overkill and defeats the purpose of being able to control all the colors from the Theme's setting page. Any way to do this? If not, please make this a feature that is needed.
