I'm using ctable package for tables with footnotes. IMO it looks better than using booktabs with threeparttable package. I also use pgfplots (which I guess uses tikz package, in turn). Everything works perfectly. Problem is that ctable throws a warning:

Package ctable Warning:  Transparency disabled: incompatible with tikz package on input line 5.

MWE:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\usepackage{ctable}
\begin{document}
Content here.
\end{document}

I doesn't seem to affect anything and my PDF looks fine.

Q: Is there any simple way to disable the warning? I'm using Overleaf.

Or can I disable ctable transparency feature? Are there other possible alternatives or should I just live with the warning.

Yes. You asked to surpess the warning. I am not sure if you really want to have this solution.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{silence}
\WarningFilter{ctable}{Transparency disabled:}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\usepackage{ctable}
\begin{document}
Content here.
\end{document}

It only surpress the warning. A bugreport has been sent to the maintainer a few minutes ago...

  • Thanks! This is what I needed. Not that this is the optimal solution but it will suffice until the transparency/incompatibility issue is properly resolved. And thanks for sending the bug report. I hope ctable is still maintained. Or some other package gets better support for table footnotes. – Paapaa Jul 17 '16 at 15:38
  • I got response from the maintainer and he will send a notification if the problem is resolved. – Peter Ebelsberger Jul 17 '16 at 15:42
