Semi-transparent background for Google presentation text box

google-slides

Is it possible to set the background of a text box in Google presentation to be semi-transparent? All I see are options to either transparent (a.k.a. "no fill") or completely opaque text boxes.

Yup, you can set the background color to be semi-transparent. Use the custom color option, it gives you the ability to set transparency.
