❔ WPF How do I make transparency only for the gradient background, and not for all elements?

At 0.95 transparency, the text looks fine. When the transparency is 0.35, the text for some reason also becomes transparent

Opacity is inherited from the parent The easiest way would be to have a sibling be translucent Some sort of, say

<Grid>
    <Reactangle Opacity="0.5" Background="{}"></Rectangle>
    <StackPanel>
        <!-- Actual content here -->
    </StackPanel>
</Grid>

<Grid>
    <Reactangle Opacity="0.5" Background="{}"></Rectangle>
    <StackPanel>
        <!-- Actual content here -->
    </StackPanel>
</Grid>
