I for one am beginning to HATE transparency. I don't mind it too much in head textures, but inviso-limbs are getting annoying. (Yes Milkyshake, I'm attempting to look at you but YOU HAVE NO ARMS!)
I never thought to turn it off. Thats probably a good idea.
However, shouldn't transparent bits of texture show the GRADIENT below?
It it worked like that, I'd love transparency.
