Re: Need some advice

I was thinking a semi transparent button as well. Make it an opaqe type of
white (as you see in some magazines) and the text will stand out better. Try
it and see if it works for you. If not, you could try fading the background
from the light blue at the top into the background and put your text in the
fade part.
