Trying to reproduce the semi-transparent fill from the answer to my previous question https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/188453/37570 I cannot get it to work. Tried adding backgrounds library inside ifpdf and outside of it, but the fill is still solid with no transparency.

auto-pst-pdfpackage. Commenting it and thepspictureenvironment out gives you a semitransparent fill. Work your MWE down so that it has just these two features in it (no table, no forest, etc) and it might get some more attention. See also http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/121927/1402 – Matthew Leingang Jul 11 '14 at 19:53forestwithauto-pst-pdfetc., you want to solve this problem. And that will be easier to solve if you pare things down to the essentials. That is, the point of your document may be the tree. But the point of your MWE is to solve the problem andforestis irrelevant there. (Cf. the point of my document is to discuss the tradition of Y Fari Lwyd and I want to be able to writetŷin order to do so. The problem I face concerns the use ofŷ. My MWE need not (and should not) involve a bunch of stuff about Y Fari Lwyd.) – cfr Jul 11 '14 at 20:43
