I know I did translucent overlays on past projects but I forget if I just layered them over top the map or embedded them in the map. I tried making map pins load my popups and it loads them but it puts a bubble behind my popup which defeats the purpose of having a translucent background. I realize I could put a script in the "onMarkerClick" event to send a message to make a popup appear but I'm looking for a more elegant and/or embedded solution. I was able to open a popup in onMarkerClick with the correct parameters for the pin but it had the bubble behind it also so it was a less elegant way to do what markers can do. It just occurred to me that I could pull it off with a hideous kludge by embedding a view for each pin point and toggling visibility to show them when the user clicks the corresponding map pin. I don't want to do it that way either. ---

I should have explained that better. The popup has a translucent black background to create contrast but you can't see through it to the map. Instead, you see through it to see the bubble. ---

Gotcha, this can likely be done with theming but what part of the popup are you trying to hide? The white part of the bubble and the `x` in the corner? Or also the gray, and if so where it the gray coming from? ---

I'm just trying to hide the bubble. I want to avoid editing back end stuff because I don't want to create a puzzle for anyone that isn't me in the future support of the system. The translucent black background is a style class I have applied to the root container on the popup view.
