hi,

just to make it clear, there is a differenze in "Translucency" vs. "Transparency"
Transparency – Refers to the ability to see through something clearly and without obstruction. Think of it as clear glass. Some applications and APIs use the term transparency to refer to a scale that ranges from “completely” transparent to “completely” opaque.

Translucency – People often use translucency and transparency interchangeably but they actually mean very different things. Translucency refers to the ability to see through something where the background appears unclear whether it is out-of-focus or simply blurry in some
