How to edit Sharepoint website code?
Maggan Wåhlin Thanks! Can I edit it via the console using F12? If I make the change needed there, I see it in real time, but I can't figure out where to save the changes. Also, I am not sure where the sharepoint site saves by default. Could you help me with that? The only way I see to access it, is via a web browser, I don't see where I can even access the code and make changes and then insert the new code.

It is possible to make changes to the SharePoint GUI through SPFx Extensions or SharePoint Themes, as I described earlier. You cannot save changes from the developer tool bar, that is only for testing during development.
Maggan Wåhlin Okay. I created a virtual and installed sql and sharepoint 2016 on there. Is there a way to export the site created on Office 365 and import it into SharePoint 2016? Or will I have to create everything from scratch using IIS and all?
Deleted You will not be able to do that, They are different versions of SharePoint.
I think you may want to slow down a bit before trying to make any modifications. It seems you may not be 100% familiar with how SharePoint is built or how to customize it. There are lots of branding guidelines provided by Microsoft on what you can and can't do to customize SharePoint.
As previously mentioned, if you are in classic mode, it's 100% possible to change the background to be more transparent or make other customization's using alternate css. However, if you are in Modern UX, you aren't able to do those customization. -- What you see is what you get. While it is possible to use SPFx extensions to override out of the box styles, this is not recommend and prone to failure.Beau Cameron Thanks for the information! You have been very helpful. How exactly would I make the background transparent using classic mode?
