image\SHADTRANS.gif

The slider and text box to the right control the transparency level of the umbra (center) of the shadow. (This is how much of the background shows through.) The outer edge of the shadow is always totally transparent.

Either drag the slider or, for precise adjustment, type into the text box.

The shadow is always more transparent than the object casting the shadow. For example if the object is 50% transparent, then the shadow can be 50% to 100% transparent.
