How do I Remove The White Background? (Layer Issues)

So I'm making a game and I made a BG layer behind the basic layer (the basic layer is where all the action and stuff happens) and the UI is on top of them all, however, the basic layer is showing a white background (the one you see when you start a new project) in front of my BG layer. How do I remove this?

Hello,

When you click on the basic layer, you have the layer properties usely on the right. Under the background color property, you will see a Transparent property set to no. Set it to yes and voilà. At least, if this is your problem.

Never knew that, I would always just overlay it xD

Thanks alot =D
