Hi Norbert - that is to be expected. This setting only changes the transparency of the base layer (or, when it works again, object) color. If you set the backfaces to have a different “material” than the “front face setting”, it won’t be transparent.
-wim
We will soon support “per object” transparency. There was an issue with the color dialog on windows when setting per object colors that we need to fix first.
It would be really helpfull to automatically apply the same transpareny to the backface material (per layer, or - in the future - per object) in my opinion.
If not (as it is) layer transparency and backface coloring are working against each other.

Hi Norbert - I agree, and we have the request for a more general layer or object “visiblility” setting on the list (BO-2792) but that is really a different feature than the one that is discussed in this thread.
-wim
It would be also useful to have transparency option tick box in MatchProperties.
Hi Piotr - transparency (as discussed here) is a property of “Display color” or “Print color” and is matched as part of that property.
-wim
The other option is to provide another option to the display mode to get alpha from display color instead of a fixed value.
Oh yes baby!
Great addition, very useful!
I hope all little bugs can be solved in the near future because I would really like to start using it.
Transparency/Picture in the background.
Changing colour resets transparency (little annoying).
@stevebaer ,
Did you consider enabling some of the display mode colors to work with transparency?
Specifically the curves, edges etc. It may create some new interesting possibilities.

If this also worked with pointcloud layers it would be awesome !!!

What are pointcloud layers?
Layers with pointclouds in them
Sorry, I meant it would be great to be able to apply transparency t pointclouds using layers.
