Setting the layer transparency

Each layer uses a transparency value from 0 to 90, where zero is no transparency (regular visibility) and 90 is the most transparency (almost invisible).

By default, each layer is assigned zero transparency. If you want a different transparency assigned to a layer, you can easily change it using the Explorer.
