The background is not transparent - the wording used in cell format is
"no fill".
"Show when no background color is selected" is imho to long. And
translated strings would be even longer (some languages might have three
times the lengths as english strings - in extreme cases).

But in general I agree - the current strings at the wiki might need rework.

They work (somehow). Actually they are real screenshots, the UI elements
are implemented. But only the "checkbox in View options" was fully
working. ("Was" because I broke it again when playing around with the
drop down).

thanks and regards,
