Transparency

Risks

• No transparency of UI elements leads to less immersive experience and can be confusing for the user (not so bad)
• Too high transparency can make the UI elements unreadable (bad)

Guidelines

• Use appropriate transparency so that users see the real world behind the UI elements. It helps with orientation and makes the experience more immersive.
• Do not set transparency more than 50% to ensure that the user can read the text and see the icons.
