Hi, I need some help with this: I’m getting a lot of different suggestions with various styles back (integrated via JSON query). I want to display these in individual containers with different background colors (with transparency). 👉 Do you have the CSS code for applying different transparent backgrounds? In addition, users should be able to copy the text normally and paste it into social media — not via a copy button, but in the standard way (select, right-click, copy). 👉 Do you have CSS for making Rich Text selectable and copyable? Because dont can choose colors in Backround Menu. ![2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/5/e/5e42a2a0ef069b82dd9c7866cd0a0299517725b9.png) ---

You can have multiple classes like this. > [@Marc1](#): > > In addition, users should be able to copy the text normally and paste it into social media — not via a copy button, but in the standard way (select, right-click, copy). > 👉 Do you have CSS for making Rich Text selectable and copyable? Users should still be able to select/drag, right click, copy with rich text. I don’t think there’s any problem with that compared to normal text. ---

Hi ThinhDinh, however I have the problem that in Custom CSS it says “CSS Class”. Unfortunately, I can’t enter anything here. I need Container with different Backgrounds in transparent. Need Red, purple, green and more… And regarding copying: I can’t copy anything in the app. ---

If I’m not misunderstanding what you’re saying, you could write the container and its contents as inline HTML and CSS within a rictext component. This would make it easier to add dynamic colors than using a container component. ---

I assume all paid plans should have access to Custom CSS, “CSS Class” is not where you should put your code in, it’s for naming a custom class for a component. Where you should put the code in is Settings \> Appearance \> Custom CSS. I don’t think there should be a case where Glide is preventing you from copy. If you can record a video it’d be helpful. ---
