Can we have transparent AdSense Ads?

    I cannot find the answer to this, so I assume it is NO. But, if we are using a background image for a page (say, for a textured background), then can we set AdSense so as to allow the texture to be seen behind the ads too?
    Thanks for your help.

    You are right... the short answer is "No". :) (and there is no long answer)

    Funny co-incidence - I just ran into that for the first time. All my other Adsense are on parts of sites with solid backgrounds. But I just added to a site that has a slightly textured wallpaper and I had to compromise with the best match color - but it looks wrong.

    I'd be very surprised if they added such a feature. But then again, they have so many BETAs going they might have a crack at it just for fun. :)

    Yeah, I'd be suprised too, textures may make the text hard to read, they probably wouldn't allow custom ones for that reason. And the default ones probably won't match most people's site design.
