Yep, working on one for Haven. I'm currently fighting with a bit of the code in the opacity part of the tutorial, but once that's sorted out I just have a couple of connecting paragraphs to finish up and then I can post it.
It might be good to have a Variable Flow tutorial that just covers opacity, since you can't create that effect simply by adding a background to the content boxes. Although, now that I think about it...I'm not sure adding a background to content boxes will look the same as using transparency. The backgrounds probably won't line up properly.
I'm not sure if the tutorials for styles which don't support background images need to include adding a background image. I think people can reasonably be expected to combine the background image tutorial with the transparency/opacity tutorial. Plus some people may actually want to use transparency or opacity without a background image.
Let's see, other thoughts...the big yellow box at the end has a typo, and I also have a suggestion for a wording change (I think you

Fixed the typo/rewording. Yeah, I just copied from the S1 tutorial, so I didn't even think about that one.
Let me check the other styles that don't have background image support and see if any of them work right with the tutorial that I'm using. I'll update in a few minutes with the ones that do. If they don't, then I'll look into additional tutorials.
Yay transparency tutorials! That's almost the first thing users want to do in S2, and it's been a real pain up to now trying to explain it in Support answers. Thank you so much for these.
Can you update this to use the theme layer link instead of the theme layer information? And if you're working on variations for all layouts, please let me know :) Otherwise I'd be happy to spend some time poking at code and testing things for this.

No, I haven't been working on the other layouts yet, because I've gotten a bit caught up with the house.
I'm just waiting to hear back from adcott about the CSS3 specficiation, because I don't have the patience to read through the specs yet. ;)

Granted, it doesn't do anything in any browser yet, but it's part of the proposed CSS3 standard and essentially makes the code future compatible.
