To make the SlidingDrawer transparent, set its android:background attribute to @null. See the following example;

<SlidingDrawer android:id="@+id/slider"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:handle="@+id/handle" android:content="@+id/content"
        android:background="@null">
...
...

</SlidingDrawer>

Update:

Above code will make the whole drawer transparent. To make the only the content part, transparent, you can do something like this;

<SlidingDrawer android:id="@+id/slider"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:handle="@+id/handle" android:content="@+id/content"
        android:background="#eeffae" >

        <ImageView android:id="@+id/handle" android:layout_width="55dp"
            android:layout_height="55dp" android:src="@drawable/handle" />

        <LinearLayout android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/content"
            android:orientation="vertical" android:background="@null">

...
...
</LinearLayout>
</SlidingDrawer>
