I'm trying to make the Cinnamon menu semitransparent and probably even blurred - just like the default theme of the Deepin DE but I'm having problems. For one, when I reduce the opacity of the background color, it simply changes to a lighter solid color which looks like light gray. In my theme (the one I'm currenty editing and I was using in the past 2 years or so) the background color of the menu is black: rgba(0, 0, 0, 1). I had it set to (0, 0, 0, 0) but instead of having a 100% transparent menu which was the desired effect (only to see what it will look like), the menu became light gray.
This is what the menu looks like in my theme:
And this is what it becomes when I reduce the opacity to 0:
Any ideas/suggestions what am I missing here?

Code:
.popup-menu-content { /* .popup-menu-content changes menu font family and size */
font-family: "Open Sans SemiBold",sans-serif;
font-weight: bold;
color: #c5c5c5;
font-size: 15px;
background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0);
border: 1px;
border-color: rgba(160, 120, 78, 1);
padding: 0.8em 0.8em; }
