For a while now our quote button has been translucent; did we do this intentionally? I certainly don’t see any benefit to it.

I can see some benefit in opacity but 0.8 is too much, 0.9 should do or maybe even 0.95

I don’t know, this is a “feels” thing… there is no correct answer.

I think it is fine as is, the logic is that it sits on top of stuff and you might need to see through it to select exactly the context you want without the button obscuring the context.
