I’m using Ignition Vision 7.9.10 is there a way for me to make the “Background” of a Text Field “TRANSPARENT”?

Thanks for your reply, after going back and checking when looking at the selection there is a “Transparent” selection it just does not say transparent so I kept missing it.  
Thanks for your help.
