hi code gurus! a couple of things i'd love to fix and don't have the magic powers to do, here's the ref pic

1) is there away to make the 'today' text and the orange box that flicks open both transparent? plurk i don't need you to tell me i'm in today i'm right here

2) same sort of thing but to make the white/orange backgrounds transparent and leave the response notif visible

thanks in advance for any help!
