Pretty old stuff...isn't it. This is how we like it.

Control opacity of blogger-navbar

Recently Blogger released new transparent navbar styles. It is a nice move on blogger's part to encourage its users put back the navbar again. Users used to hide the blogger navbar as it did not match their template. The transparent navbars mix with the template colors and hence give a better look.
There is one thing though that I still think is missing. The level of transparency can not be controlled. Here is a work around to achieve this.
