How to control bone opacity?

Hi folks,

Please take a look at the image below.

This is from a BLEND file that came with an addon i bought (X-Muscle).

You’ll see that the bones are in front & half opaque.

However, I can find no way to control the bone opacity and when i build my own rig from scratch in a new BLEND, i also can’t find any setting for opacity.

Also, If i go into edit mode, shift+D, and drag the new bone to the side, it’s not half opaque, it’s fully solid!

Any ideas? Must be a setting somewhere but i can’t find it! Or perhaps the opacity comes from some custom coding in the X-Muscle addon?

Aren’t they just set to WIRE in the rig’s object properties?

Damn, you’re right!

So in object mode the bones are true wireframe, but in edit and pose mode they have a fixed half transparency?

Strange that you can’t control that opacity or have true wireframe in edit / pose!
