One down, one to go.

Yes, but it is maybe a user interface issue.

You can set the transparency for specific ranges of the
color table.  When you select the transparency value, you
are setting the edit mode to make any changes use that
value.  Hitting apply without making any edits will not
change the transparency for the whole table.

In your case, once you have set the transparency value,
click on the right or left breakpoint and drag it
to the other end.  You will see the color bar show the
transparency as you drag the breakpoint along and it will
be reflected in the display.

If you have a suggestion for a way to make this action
more "intuitive", let us know.
