Set up smart views to both color and set transparency of components
To color elements and make them transparent at the same time, follow these steps:
- Add the elements which you want to show when activating the smart view
- Use the 'Set colored' action first for the elements which you want to color
- Use the 'Set transparent' action on the same elements
Reversing these actions will result in
only changing the component’s color.
