Try:

background: Color.Transparent

in your container.

Are you sure? Since it is transparent you would see what ever is behind it, probably the application global background color. Your bar descriptor file should have a check box for transparent main window. I haven't tried that but maybe that's what you're looking for. – Richard Jun 13 '13 at 13:36
No the above code is used for container. The question is asked for Page transparency. So only the possible way is to make it as a dialogue and set that dialogue's main container as background: Color.Transparent – pranavjayadev Jan 22 '14 at 13:23

You can't make a Page transparent. Your best bet is to put your content in a Dialog, and set its opacity to 0. This will give you a full screen overlay over the current page.
