Ionic 4 transparent ion-content

Question

I have an Ionic 4 app and I want a transparent content.

This does not work and always the content white. I have added this to the css as well:

ion-content{
  --ion-background-color: transparent;
}

Answer 1

ionic contents background is set with the --background scss variable https://ionicframework.com/docs/api/content

ion-content { --background: transparent;}
