    <td>OpenRocket will soon have an opacity slider just below the shine feature on the configuration ''Appearance'' tab. This slider will control the opacity of the component from normal view to invisible. And, this feature gives you a tremendous amount of flexibility when shinning your designs, especially what you can put decals in semi-transparent surfaces.There are a few examples below.</td>
