controlling global opacity of ghosted components

The ghosted components in my design are nearly invisible.  How do you control the transparancy / opacity of the deselected (ghosted) components?

 

Thank you.

Hi Colin,

 

This is from a work laptop.  On my home system the ghost image is almost invisible.  Note that ShortArm doesn't exist yet.

Hi @jrichels20

This is as designed.  The idea is that non-active components are not interfering with the other objects in the active component. 

You can reference the ghosted images. There is no way to change the opacity levels of the non-active components.

Colin, As I wrote, on my home machine it is basically invisible, as shown in the attached screen captures. The only usable environment is Gray Room. Jeff

@jrichels20 - which visual style to you have set?  Looks to me like Shaded makes it hard to see, where as if you have edges turned on it may be better?

As I mentioned there is no way to currently adjust the opacity.
