I am having trouble setting transparency in Ghosted Display mode.
Up to 59% transparency, it works well, from 60% and up it goes into Wireframe mode.
This is 35% …
This is 59% …
This is 60% …
Thoughts?
I’m not able to reproduce this. Can you please attach the file where this is happening?
Hi Dan, works fine here at home on both WIP & 5.1. I will see again when back at the office next Tuesday.
I remember having the same type of issue with Picture Frame transparency like this.
I may be the video card on my work iMac, if I remember correctly.
Happy weekend!
Was that a 5K iMac?
No, it is a AMD 4770 I believe, not at the office today, one version off from the AMD Radeon HD 6970M replacement program from Apple.
It has always been glitchy. It’s a mid 2011 27" iMac.
Thanks!
Good morning @dan
It is still happening here on my work iMac. The transparency changes at 60%. First the screenshots then computer info.

Thanks. Unfortunately, I’m still not seeing the behavior on my MBP…but I believe you.
Hardware model: MacPro2,1
This is what you have at home?! 
Lucky
We still don’t have a MacPro in our testing pool. Perhaps it’s time to pony up and get one …
Despite all that, I trust you’re seeing what you’re seeing. I’m logging this for future investigation once we can reproduce it.
It wasn’t happening here at home before, but it was yesterday when I opened that model. I will do some more testing.
The benefit of having some friends that do video editing, I sometimes get a chance for hand-me-downs.
Even with El Capitan I get the display problem using the transparency to 60%. Wip I installed 5.2 and 5.1 normal
