Difficulty making panel transparent

Hey everyone,

Beginner here.
I am developing a project with several UI buttons.
I need the buttons to be fully in color while the background is slightly transparent.
The panel appears slightly transparent, but then becomes completely solid in my scene when I press play in Unity.
Does EntryPanel need to be solid because the children buttons are solid?
Is there a script or workaround to help me with this issue?

Thank you very much.

 

One more note: I actually plan to make the panel fully transparent!

 

Is it possible you have a script that affects the color of that panel? I see it appears to be some kind of modal UI panel. Maybe there's a modal script that sets the color of the panel when it shows the modal?

 

I have one script attached, but I don't think that this would alter the color.
What's interesting is that if I try to simply uncheck the image of the EntryPanel, the entire background becomes white.

 

Do you know what this white panel is that I circled in red?



I don't see that in the editor screenshot and it appears like it could be an opaque white panel behind your transparent panel. That would explain why you can't see behind your panel and why it turns white when you hide it completely. There's another panel beneath it!

 

Thank you!!
I was so preoccupied with that one panel, I completely glossed over that
Next time I will be more careful.
