Help Wanted: Show/Hide Cables Makes No Difference - SOLVED!

[huggermugger]

I've seen it for a long time: "100 % transparency" means cables are fully transparent and so are unvisible!

After years it should be a task for CA to fix that in 2022. "Trancparency" is just the wrong labeling for that slider. For that what it does it should be "Opacity".

Agreed. The usual term for that function in software is "Opacity". This makes the 0 - 100% scale sensible. How clearly do I want to see the cables? A little? A lot?

YES!!! So the parameter should be "Clarity" and go from 0 to 100%. That way numbers closer to 0% will mean the cables are not clearly seen ("a little" - you can see right through them) and numbers closer to 100% will mean the cables are seen very clearly ("alot" - you can't see through them). "Clarity" is shorter than "Transparency" and less obtuse than "Opacity." When the cables are clearly seen, the cables themselves will not be clear at all.
