Hi. Is it possible to adjust transparency in the floating graph, for example 25/50/75%? This will make the appearance of the graph very nice. Thank you!

Do you mean a semi-transparent graph like this?

If so, it can be achieved by adjusting the Window opacity, % value in the Graph Settings.

Hi Ann, thanks for the answer!
But I meant the transparency of the graph background only. I wanted the graph itself and all the letters and numbers to stay opaque.

To change the transparency of the graph background only, open the Hidden Options, scroll to the Transparent graph background and set it as you like.

NetWorx User Manual

Transparent graph background renders the graph background colour as transparent. Any mouse events in transparent areas will be passed through to the windows and objects underneath the graph.

With hidden options gone in V7, did we loose Background Transparency?
If so, is it possible to petition for adding that option back?

It is unfortunately incompatible with the anti-aliased drawing that NetWorx is now using.

Since the lines and text are drawn with antialiasing and blended with the background, it would look bad when the colour of the window behind is different.

For example, if the background is white and the window behind is white, it looks good, but otherwise it does not:
