How do I make this navbar transparent?

Question

I've been fiddling with the css for a long time now, nothing's working.

I succeeded in changing the text colors, but the background color remains stubborn

Where you tried background-color just try background for your nav it will work. — aavrug, Dec 29 '16 at 05:29
Also try to set ```background-image: none;``` for ```navbar-default```. — aavrug, Dec 29 '16 at 05:36

You have used...

.navbar-default {
    background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
}

What you should be using instead...

.navbar-default {
    background: transparent;
}

I'm running prepros, and it doesn't show the change, still the same solid background. – therealnemis Dec 29 '16 at 05:28
Did you try setting the value, or did you try overriding the rule if thats the case then you can try by using `background: transparent!important;` just to be sure. – Mohd Abdul Mujib Dec 29 '16 at 15:06
