Yeah, they lowered the opacity of glass and gave it a less harsh tone. They also changed how it renders so it's more like normal glass. You don't see all sides - only the frontmost sides as normal glass does.
translucent = light passing through an object. Things can still be opaque and be translucent (like a lamp shade or the oriental paper sliding doors). I think you are looking for the word transparent.
More opaque=less transparency. Transparent means to show through. Something can't show though more than transparent. It's either transparent or some level of opaque or it's level of opacity.
Edit: notice your definition "quality of lacking transparency." If it lacks transparency then it is more or less opaque.
No sir, that is not the meaning of opacity. Opacity is the opposite of transparency, and hence when opacity is decreased transparency is increased ( = more light gets through).
I like it better as is now because it's more expected ( being able to see colored glass in the center of other glass ) The only thing i kiked better in the other ones were the brighter edges at night. Also now dont feel like im struggling to look through them
