</div>

Steps to reproduce:

1. Set a custom background on a category
2. Enter a topic in this category and from the topic settings menu make it a banner topic

If you perform the two steps above, the #main-outlet div background goes from being transparent to a block colour which hides the custom category background. Now, this _may_ be a feature, but it looks nasty in my browser.
